It saves space (glibc chews up what, twenty megabytes?) and it
supports MMU-less hardware, when paired with the uClinux kernel
patches.

As for KDrive vs. Xorg: I've heard some people claim that it actually
plays better with certain laptop and mobile hardware out of the box
than Xorg does--Xorg tries to autodetect too aggressively, and causes
problems. I'm also told that it is possible to run KDrive (or was it
TinyX?) in four megs of RAM. :-)
