umm...the Render extension is just that...a extension. nobody forces you to load it...you don't have to re-install. And there are alot more than a couple drivers that can do it. Either way, it's a extra feature and far from required... options are: 1 - turn off AA support under Look & Feel / Styles 2 - turn off Render support completely by removing the line that loads it in your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file 3 - open up konsole/xter/whatever first, type "export QT_XFT=0" then run xinerama Of course all of this is documented in both readmes and the documentation that comes with X and QT.
