The Alpha system from the IW2000 expo had tons of problems with
TTF fonts and RedHat's xfs and frozen many many times.
Maybe it was solved in the latest GTK (1.2.8) where they fixed
some crashes related to missing fonts.

Any idea how could I get the specs for my Mag 15" so I could
actually run 1024x768 in 85Hz+ (and not 76Hz)? Increasing the
horizontal scan ranges to include the mode for 85Hz seems to
make the display go blank until I switch to some other mode.

Speaking of fribidi, Owen Taylor told me GTK+1.4 not going to be
back-compatible with the previous, so applications will have to get
atleast some basic changes. The testgtk provided with the preview
of Pango-ed GTK+ indeed feature cool Unicode in input fields
and can reverse whole UI right-to-left, almost perfectly.
