Re: AA, KDE, and archives.

I just fixed AA under KDE on my woody box. 

I had to get the brand new 4.1.0 from 

  
ftp://ftp.sourceforge.net/pub/mirrors/XFree86/4.1.0/binaries/Linux-ix86-glibc22/

to get my card to RENDER. But if your card is already supported in 4.0.3 
I don't recommend changing. Installing a non debian packed xserver really 
messed 
up the package dependencies and it took a lot of fiddling to settle everything
straight. 



Supposedly 4.1 delivers a performance boost

but I for one didn't fall of my chair in amazement.


You can get the Windows TrueType fonts as a debian package 'msttcorefonts'.
