did you find all colors distorted? or just text? and when you
say "crt", do you mean it? or is it an lcd? i ask b/c it could
have been due to subpixel rendering of fonts on lcds.
images look great on my dell lcd in "-o left" mode, but text
isn't as nice as it is in "-o normal". (also, X gets confused
about the X and Y range of my wacom tablet when i switch)
