Make sure your display is running at its native resolution. If it isn't, not much of anything will look good, so you should try running sax2 again, ensuring the use of your display's native resolution. Also, be sure the DPI is rational. Some displays provide broken EDID to the X configuration system, which may need to be overridden via manual intervention if sax2 can't get it right. http://fm.no-ip.com/auth/dpi-screen-window.html will quickly show DPI and resolution in Gecko browsers like Firefox & Epiphany, and sometimes in others. You might want to test and compare with the open source nv driver. Whatever you do while testing, be sure to evaluate the content in /var/log/Xorg.0.log, which may point to what needs a fix.
The 1920x1200 doesn't sound as native resolution for 24" wide screen, and that probably creates problem as you describe.
Only recently did anything other than 1920x1200 become common for a 24" display. Widescreen displays for a very long time came primarily in 16:10 format, which is what 1920x1200 is. Lately the marketers have been passing off 16:9 format 1920x1080 HDTVs as computer displays, since most LCD TVs come with VGA input and HDMI anyway. Here's a sample of what's on the market in 24", approximately equal between 16:9 & 16:10: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=2010190020%201309821328&name=24%22 Oh, and his Samsung T240Hd's native resolution _is_ 1920x1200. http://reviews.cnet.com/lcd-monitors/samsung-syncmaster-t240hd/4505-3174_7-3...
My 22" wide screen has native resolution 1920x1050 and fonts are fine with
Have you ever found any other display with a native 1920x1050 resolution? That's a non-standard aspect ratio wider than the traditional 16:9 TV (and 16:10 computer display). In 22", 1680x1050 is quite more common than 1920Xwhatever.
same gfx adapter as yours, but on lower resolution 1200x800 which is supported by laptop, fonts are really ugly. This seems to be property of many LCD monitors to have good picture on native resolution and nowhere else.
Most LCDs can only produce good results at native resolution, which matches actual pixels to actual resolution. It's the nature of the technology. -- " A patriot without religion . . . is as great a paradox, as an honest man without the fear of God. . . . 2nd U.S. President, John Adams Team OS/2 ** Reg.
