Okay, the thought of effortlessly configuring Xinerama lured me into giving mandrake 9.1 a try. So far I'm marginally pleased, except that I can't find anything to help me use Xinerama. I'd go googling for it, but I thought I would let the Mandrake users defend themselves and just tell me where DraXirama (or whatever) is.
Also: It set up font anti-aliasing but it used the wrong subpixel hint. It looks really bad. I can change it for myself, but the login screen looks terrible.
Oh, I forgot to answer this one. I'm sorry to say I have no idea what you are talking about there. I alway thought the fonts were ok, but could still use a little help...I'm sorry it's "hint" wasn't good enough to help you guess whatever it was you were trying to guess. Maybe it's because the Mandrake guys are French. Do you have something against the French? Maybe you shouldn't answer that.
You wouldn't notice the problem unless you had an LCD screen. The "hints" are little helps for the AA code that makes it look even better on an LCD. Had little effect on CRTs.
