Hello, there.  I've recently started trying to get anti-aliasing to work
in my window manager(s) of choice.  However, when I'm using a desktop
environment that supports anti-aliasing natively (GNOME and KDE), programs
that make heavy usage of anti-aliasing tend to make the box unresponsive
after a few minutes (rebooting has to be done via Magic SysRq; I don't
have a box to shell in from).  In addition, using anti-aliased fonts with
XTerm in any desktop environment does the same thing.

I've spent the better part of a day trying to fix this, and here's what
I've tried so far:

- RedHat 7.1
- XFree86 4.1.0 and 4.2.0, from the official source tarballs
- nVidia driver versions 1.0-2314 and 1.0-2802
- KDE 2.1.1, Gnome 1.2.4
- TrueType provided by xfs and server extensions
- with Xft hinting hack and without
- with and without GdkXft to provide anti-aliasing for GTK programs
- with stock FreeType libraries and the latest from freetype.org

This problem would be easier to diagnose if it were logged to disk, but
neither /var/log/messages nor the XFree log show any errors.

Is this a known bug or am I just missing a configuration problem?
