Re: [Cooker] Problem with kdesu in kdelibs-2.1.1

soon as I turn them off the problem goes away. It does not matter if root has anti-aliased fonts turned on or off. So in the interim I have turned off anti-aliased fonts and everything is working fine, yet its uglier than sin. -Chris > On Mon May 07, 2001 at 09:43:23PM -0600, Chris Spencer wr

[Cooker] Fonts in new KDE are weird

2000-11-17 Thread Chris Spencer
I have noticed that since installing the new KDE 2.0 rpms that my fonts are wacky. Sometimes they look fine. Sometimes they are way too big (like they are at this very moment). Sometimes a reboot fixes it. Sometimes it doesn't. They always look fine in Gnome. I have mucked around with my /etc/

2000-09-23 Thread Chris Spencer
When I installed the 7.2 beta 3 yesterday I chose Grub as my OS loader - ever since it was included in 7.1 I have become quite fond of it. I was a little surprised when I upgraded my kernel to 2.2.17-12 a few minutes ago to find out that my OS loader has been changed to LILO on me. Bug? Design?
