What was the particular install problem you encountered?
My purchase order has Galaxy GT430R. The driver is from nvidia and listed as
Geforce 400 series.
The kde desktop had no icons, incomplete toolbar at the bottom. Apparently
the approbriate files in my /home were not used. I also had this problem in
ML2010.2 and found and installed the nvidia driver. Problem corrected. I ran
the nvidia driver in init 3 and then went to kde and everything was restored
and looks good. I had also renamed .kde so I had a fresh kde file. Maybe
this particular card is not supported.
The only reason I mentioned this was because I thought a couple of other
people had remarked about galaxy cards.

Particular model of the card should not matter. What matters is that you renamed
your ~/.kde4/. I've not heard yet of any problem with galaxy cards, or any of
the nvidia cards which use the 270series drivers (nvidia-current), which covers
basically
anything from Geforce 6100 up to Geforce GT590X.
I installed the updated kernel-server today. I was unable to get into
kde. The reboot took me to init 3. I tried startx and got errors. I had
to remove the kernel. This might be a good time to see if my graphics
card is supported. If I reinstall the kernel-server it will take me to
init 3. Can I use XFdrake at this point to install the proper nvidia
drivers? And then startx to go into kde?
