Thanks for reporting this issue. This is pretty odd. I have no idea what the cause is. Are you sure this odd rendering appears on all applications, and isn't tied to a particular toolkit (Qt, gtk, etc. )? You might start by looking at the dimensions and dpi details for "screen #0" reported by xdpyinfo, and see if there is a difference between these two modes. -- Jon TURNEY Volunteer Cygwin/X X Server maintainer -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
