Apparently, not everybody is happy with the graphics performance etc.,

Well, I think sub-optimal performance is to be expected if you upgrade from a fairly entrenched system, rather than doing a clean install.

I've yet to run across an OS that does a seamless upgrade from a preexisting installation.

Yeah, I had the same experience (after upgrading to 9.04 b0rked and I had to reinstall).

My fiancee had a similar problem. I used some X.org black magic and avoided a re-install. ("Black magic" because I did not know what finally made it. The steps outlined in the blog-post did not suffice.)
