The fact that there's a "Rendering" section in the font configuration dialog in GNOME makes me suspect that this is something you can't always (ever?) read from the hardware. There is a correct answer to the question of what the subpixel order is on an LCD screen---it's not as though some people will prefer RGB and some BGR or VBGR rendering on the same panel. -- J. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
