One of my machines runs a GeForce4 card and uses the legacy 96.XX drivers. > Anybody got a clue how to fix this? Do I need to change something in > xorg.conf? I had the same problems with font smudging in *all* programs and on the kde desktop. It was almost impossible to even read the start menu. I solved the problem by adding nvidia-drivers (x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers ~x86) to /etc/portage/package.keywords. The latest 96.XX driver was installed which was 96.43.11 You do need: >=x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-100.00.00 in /etc/portage/package.mask so that the latest (~x86) 96.XX driver will be installed. I'm not sure if it will work for you, but maybe it's work a try. -- Regards, Gregory. Gentoo Linux - Penguin Power
