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.
