If you don't mind my using your problem as a hook to hang an opinion on:
You have had graphics problems with 3 out of 4 machines.
Personally, I have had no graphics problems with Fedora-12/KDE
on 5 machines, though I have had other minor (and unimportant) problems.

But how rare or common is your experience?
Have only 5% of Fedora users had graphics problems with F-12?
Or is it 50%? Or 75%?

I don't see how it is possible to plan development rationally
without some idea of the statistics.
