Debian Sarge ugly screen display at 1280x800 on notebook

[Hans-Peter Sulzer <ql_freak@gmx.net>]

Hi,

some times ago I wrote about the "ugly fonts" on my
notebook in native resolution.

First of all: It were not just the fonts, but everything
(icons, borders, ...).

It seems the nv-driver delivered with Sarge has a
bug at this resolution and a depth of 24. When I
set DefaultDepth to 16 all was OK (same Modeline).
Now I am using the nVidia driver (I've got it
installed finally) and it works fine with the
same ModeLine at 24 Bits.
