Its a necessity. Using nv, I have it working just fine. This has a mobile card (NVS 140 M or something) and if that's a remotely new desktop, it should be easily outperforming this thing. If nv doesn't work, try nouveau. The bug report you submitted was rightly closed. It's not a general KDE issue, otherwise everyone would see it. We cannot do ANYTHING about the blob working or not. We don't have the source, so we can't fix it. --Ben
