Phoronix has up an article looking at the release of X Server 1.4.1. This maintenance release for X.Org, which many open-source operating systems depend upon for living in a graphically-rich world, is coming more than 200 days late and it doesn't even clear the BugZilla release blocker bug. According to Phoronix, there are more problems for X.org than just this one.

Not this old chestnut again.
nVidia are known to support versions of X Server within a couple of weeks or so of a major distribution starts supporting it.
Those couple of weeks are over, nVidia released their driver. Get. Over. It.
On the other hand it is also that same X Server (and newer Mesa, DRM) that allow R5xx standard hardware to run 3d/compiz (using updates that are in testing repository, soon to go into stable) using free drivers.
Swings and roundabouts. Some people prefer Ubuntu, some Fedora. Some find one more stable/faster, some another.
