You'll get the focus points. You'll also get inaccurate metering in normal modes of operation (AF series lenses). I didn't want to use the screen since if I have to set compensation to +0.7 to +1.0 EV all the time for accuracy, it cuts down on my ability to use the AE features of the camera effectively. And I'm not inclined to juggling the focusing screen in and out for using with a specific lens.
That said, if you use *only* older lenses with the green button stop- down metering, you *might* find that exposure accuracy improves. Some have reported that fitting a DS screen solved this K10D problem ... It might be that the exposure system recal they did for the other modes is not applied to the stop-down metering mode erroneously.
