This solved my problem with acroread, namely it was painting the
pages light red after some time of paging through a file.

Unfortunately, without the smoothing option, the most fonts are
looking awfully! Looks like if one has to choose between satan and
the devil (according to an old german proverb) ...

I yet have to try the 16 bpp Xserver option someone mentioned (now 24
bpp even here).
