Blurry X11 fonts in Lenny after update

["Ricardo A. Yanez" <ryanez@indiana.edu>]

I recently updated my laptop running lenny and the X11 fonts became 
blurry, kind of clumsy looking. The GNOME appearence preferences do 
nothing. I use XOrg, the standard 100dpi xfonts, ATI Radeon card with 
the fglrx driver, just stardard stuff. I installed xfs to see if it 
helps, but not.

This is the second time I encounter this problem. The last time was when 
upgrading from Ubuntu Breezy to Dapper. I could never solve the problem, 
and after much cursing I went back to sarge. Few seem to have seen this 
problem, and it's perhaps related to the graphics card, but it's 
certainly related to a xserver-xorg update in lenny. I saw this problem 
right after the update and reboot.

Has anybody seen this? Any suggestions?

Cheers,
Ricardo
