[opensuse] Fuzzy fonts in xorg in 10.2
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I'm getting a fuzzy display in my 10.2 system (both a new install and an upgraded one (different partitions)). The edges of letters on part of the display become blurry, provoking headache because my eyes tries to adjust to what seems like unfocused letters. I have also rebooted another partition with 10.1 to see if I had a hardware problem, but no, 10.1 displays perfectly (same /etc/X11/xorg.conf file). There are more symptoms. The screen in sax was slightly off-center; I adjusted it, saved, started X... which ignores my settings. Ok, then I use my TFT "auto" button, which till now had worked perfectly to automatically adjust my display; in 10.2 it "centers" the display fully half side out! Sax created this modeline: Modeline "1024x768" 78.65 1024 1056 1184 1312 768 772 776 792 -HSync -VSync I replaced it with the line I have been using since 9.1 in all my partitions: Modeline "1024x768" 78.80 1024 1072 1168 1312 768 769 772 800 I think it is ignored. My "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" file is the exact same one as was in 10.1. If I manually center the display (using the buttons in the monitor), I can do it, but some letters are fuzzy: that my biggest problem, as I said. My TFT has an adjustment named "phase" which does affect the fuzziness: but, if I get the right side clear, the center is fuzzy. I manage to adjust the center, then the left side is wrong. I can't find a perfect setting! :-( I have tried using different vertical frequencies (there is a gadget in both gnome and kde panels for that), with variable results, but none is perfect. The problem is the same in kde or gnome, or with different users. I have tried both the "nv" and "nvidia" (ie, oss and proprietary) drivers. No good. Even in text mode I have problems: if I center (on the monitor) tty1, then tty2..10 are half a centimeter off the screen (the left 4 or 5 letters are lost). This is a no-win situation... but I can't possibly work using 10.2, it is a headache (literally). - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFF19JjtTMYHG2NR9URAuvYAJkBO+oMAh57qoROO7/gta53B778fQCgj0N+ 0ftUbvQ14eq9tWhifIBsvuE= =SVi5 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Hi,

First, if its a TFT screen it may have an optimum resolution that you have to work at. My Dell is 1920x1200, anything else is fuzzy. Secondly, switch off anti-aliasing. Some people like the fuzzy font, I dont, I payed good money for crisp clear pixels - for KDE and Gnome there is settings in the control panels to do this - ask again if you have trouble. Note: There is a howto for fonts on the openSUSE site - google for it. Now if I can only get OpenOffice to anti-alias correctly - font renderer is broken IMHO.
