FWIW, I have run KDE from 1.x all the way up to 2.1.1 and had no problems 
(every version in between included) on my Thinkpad i1460.  This has been on 
mandrake 7.x and on redhat 6.x.  XF86 3.3.x and 4.x.  There were known 
problems with XF86 3.3.x though.  In all cases I've seen quirks go away with 
XF86 4.x.

  And yes there are no redhat rpms yet for 2.1.1.  :/   I'm running 2.1.1 mdk 
rpms right now.
