Hi, Today i apt-get upgraded a whole bunch of xfree86-related packages (like 50 mb). I was already running Xfree86 4.2 which i had installed from a apt-get.org backport to woody, as ive upgraded to sarge like a month ago. I also have installed KDE 3.1 and idesk (a program that will place icons on my fluxbox desktop) from sid. I run the nvidia drivers i have installed using nvidia-installer. After an X restart, i found 2 big problems: 1) OpenGL isnt working and will crash the server if I try to use it. 2) Fonts look horrible (no anti aliasing) The 1st problem was solved by editing the brand new XF86Config-4 file and reinstalling the nvidia drivers. The 2nd remains unsolved. All the fonts in GTK+ apps suck, and so do those in mozilla/phoenix. Strangely, the fonts in kde3 apps, idesk and rox-filer (a lightweight file manager based on GTK2) look just fine. All these apps are from sid. I was told the problem might be on Xft2. Honestly i dont know if xft2 was installed today or i already had installed it before. Someone also said that i could solve it by giving to xft2 the right paths to fonts, but i cant find where this config is. Adding the paths found in /etc/X11/config/fs to /etc/X11/XftConfig wont solve the problem. I have no idea of what to do. I run xfs but i have installed xfstt and a package of non-free true type fonts today hoping it will solve my problem. Anyway, i would appreciate any hints before this thing makes me blind - or even worst, makes me reboot to THAT OTHER OS. Thx -- GomoX
