Bug#421772: The above patch for 421772
Package: xserver-xorg-core
Version: 2:1.4.1~git20080131-1
--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
The above patch for 421772 when applied has solved a great deal of font
rendering trouble particularly wrt to KHTML. In my case, my very old CRT
comes up with some very bad dpi settings. Historically I used 'DisplaySize'
to get a 'real DPI' for my monitor-- Prior to the new xrandr the fixed DPI
that was used at least produced correct rendering of fonts. I can work around
my problems by forcing a dpi, or using any RandR tool to set the size, but
this patch has been a great boon here.
OR, fancy new xorg-goodness should submit to cruddy old xorg.conf hammering if
there's something explicit in there...
