And yet jpeg images look excellent. I'll state the obvious, despite your comment about JPEGs (because their content can disguise this), it can still be an issue, and is easily overlooked when changing a monitor: Is X running at the right size for your monitor (the screen height and width in pixels), and using the right resolution (dots per inch) for the correct generation of graphics (including text). The wrong screensize means the monitor will (badly) scale the picture up to fill the screen. And the wrong resolution results in poor text rendering, which deliberately fuzzes the edges of fonts to hide the poor resolution of monitors (giving you smoother, instead of jagged edges). This antialiasing has to be done at the right resolution to do a good job of it. Also, certain fonts just don't do antialiasing well. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
