I've used 2.5.x with patched nvidia drivers, and the results are nothing short of amazing. The whole system feels a lot faster and more responsive with the kernel improvements & fast drivers.
Did you get 2.5 working with the latest nvidia drivers? I'm running shrike here, with nvidia driver version 1.0-4363 - Frankly that's the big thing keeping me on 2.4 now - if nvidia plus e.g. 2.5.68 is a go, then I'm there.
One other thing: Does xscreensaver unlock for you when you type in your password, in a recent 2.5.6x kernel?
I tried it out and it worked for me. I was a bit hesitant, since I hardly use screensavers.
The screensaver that appeared, when I chose lock screen was a bit ugly. It was all green and you couldn't make out the box that was floating around. It was a bit blurry.
I did check out some pictures with GQview and they were very clear and popped right up. I got delay with the 2.4 kernel.
I hope the next beta includes the 2.6 or the 2.5 to push it's purification forward.
