Hello, I've installed etch in a P4 system with an ATI Radeon 9100 video card. The default driver used by xserver-xorg is the ATI one. But using it all fields with text, in all applications, including pages in the web, shows an annoying gray background. Solutions:
1) This can be solve in 98% of times using the Subpixel smoothing option in the font preferences, although this option is reserved to LCD monitors (mine is a CRT one) 2) Using the fglrx-driver package. This solve 100% of the problem. The co-lateral effect is that neither totem or acroread runs well. So, I have to stay with solution 1). This is not the first time I encounter problems with the ATI driver from xorg. I have a AMD64 system with an ATI Mobility Radeon 9200. The xorg's ATI driver simply doesn't work at all. Only the driver from the fglrx package seems to do the job... Conclusion: the xorg ATI driver is not mature enough yet...
