Colored anti-aliasing. How do I stop it?
When I've got anti-aliasing turned on for my laptop, even monochrome text (like konsole black text with white background) will have *colored* anti-aliasing. This ends up making my LCD display look like a CRT with mis-aligned RGB with slight colored "shadows", etc. I've tried playing with some of the anti-aliasing settings in the KDE control center, but I don't seem to get any results. Does anybody have a solution for this that prevents coloer anti-aliasing on monochrome text? - Joe smime.p7s Description: S/MIME Cryptographic Signature

Hi, I've not used KDE, but under Gnome the configuration allows for subpixel rendering settings of "RGB", "BGR", "VRGB" or "VBGR" and you have to pick the right one for your laptop. I think it's BGR in almost all cases (that's certainly what it is on my Thinkpad). Gnome also allows anti-aliasing setting to "none", "grayscale" and "subpixel", and font hinting settings of None, Slight, Medium and Full. For myself I have things set to subpixel, Full hinting and BGR, and have no colour issues, but my screen is 134 dpi (1600x1200), and I need a magnifying glass to actually see the subpixels!

I know this is not a "ground up" approach, but maybe worth a try. btw - it's only available in woody, though. Also - if you *just* added yourself to the audio group... you need to completely log out , then log in again. HTH. That was a funny post, BTW. -- Regards, dbp

I've not used KDE, but under Gnome the configuration allows for subpixel rendering settings of "RGB", "BGR", "VRGB" or "VBGR" and you have to pick the right one for your laptop. I think it's BGR in almost all cases (that's certainly what it is on my Thinkpad). X11 font rendering is often xft's job. the settings can basically be altered by editing the following files (many things to tweak there apart from anti-aliasing): /etc/X11/XftConfig (for rendering via xft) /etc/fonts/local.conf (xft2, for more current software) you might need to instruct the gtk (gnome) or qt (kde) frameworks separately to consider Xft rendering settings. searching the web for e.g. "debian fonts local.conf" reveals plentyful resources to draw information from. best, sascha p.s.: please post your result to the list, if you are succesful. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Actually, this is not correct -- I guess that the mode depends on each computer and for example I have here Dell Inspiron 2200 and for me the mode which eliminates colored anti-aliasing is "Vertical RGB" (in KDE, it is in Control Panel/Look & Feel/Fonts/Use Anti-Aliasing/Settings). Then I can have full hinting. Other option how to avoid colored letters is to use less than Full hinting -- difference between full and lowest level of hinting is hardly visible to my eyes (there IS very much visible difference between lowest hinting and no antialiasing at all, but not that much among different levels of hinting).

ACPI problems??
Hello, I have a Fujitsu-Siemens Lifebook E-Series E4010. I configured this laptop to use Suspend to Disk when closing the lid. Normally it awakes automatically once I reopen the lid. It also switches on and boots if I open the lid after a previous halt (to boot from scratch). This is more than I expected, but does not hurd. I also observed that if I close the lid after a halt the fan starts for a second and switches of later on. Yesterday the fan worked continuosely after closing the lid (after a halt process which tunred the laptop of) the fan continuousely turned. That's why I reopened the lid and pressed the power button down until it switched of completely. Once I opened the lid again the laptop did not start as described above but I had to press the power button to switch it on. This would be no problem but I had it to do seweral times (3 or 4 times) to finally get it started. The next time the halt process worked completely normal but when trying to switch it on it took me about half an hour to reawake this box. It took me several useless trys to press the power button. Most time the fan started for a short moment and the battery light switched on for a short moment. Sometimes fan and battery light worked but the screen remained dark and there was no harddisk activity. I had to press the power button down a longer time until the box switched of again. Finaylly after half an hour I managed to get it working. But now this happened also after a Suspoend to Disk. I was not able to switch on the box again yesterday evening. Finally I managed it this morning. So I'm keen on your diagnosis of this case. My suspection is that there is something wrong with the BIOS. My problem is to convince the Service that not Linux caused the problem - they normally blame Linux for any problem a computer might have caused - you know it. I have not changed the kernel (2.6.9 with suspend2 and ipw2100 patch) since half a year so I do not suspect any problem from this side. On the other hand I continuosely update the box to the current testing which might have a certain influence. Any ideas? The laptop stays close to me here and I will not switch it of for now to keep access to it. Is there any chance to update the BIOS perhaps? How would I do that with Linux?
