Hi all-- I just set my laptop up with sid and unofficial X 4.2.0 debs. The computer is a HP Omnibook 6100 with a 15-inch screen. I tried the VESA driver first, and it acted as if it was on a 14-inch screen. Perfectly visible and crisp display, just an annoying black border of dark pixels.
So I upgraded to X4.2, using the ATI driver (the card is a ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility M6 LY). The border problem is gone (ie it uses the whole of the screen), but the display is very blurry. I tried setting up sub-pixel sampling (in XftConfig), but couldn't notice any difference. It feels like the sort of problem that can be solved with a tweak to a single config file. Does anyone know what that tweak is? :-) -- Tiarnán Ó Corráin Consultant / System Administrator CMG Wireless Data Solutions Ltd. Tel.: +353 21 4933200 Fax: +353 21 4933201
