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!
Hope this is some help,
Andrew.
