[newbie] anti-aliasing and X problems :(

2001-04-09 Thread Syamsul Anwar
I'd recently upgraded my Mandrake 7.2 installation to KDE 2.1.1, XFree 4.03 and QT 2.3 using the officially available RPMs. There was a "use anti aliasing for fonts" option in "Styles" section of KDE Control Center, so I ticked it, rebooted it and...there doesn't seem to be any difference??
