Comment 19 for bug 104171

Unfortunately I can't answer that:

As most distros have gone to KDE4, I found it unusable on older, smaller video cards like gForce2 or embedded Intel video, which I have. This is compounded by Debian & Ubuntu both ditching proprietary drivers for poor substitutes, like Nouveau, which don't enable hardware acceleration. I've been stuck using gnome, against my will, for about a year now.
