Re: [tlug] linux laptop hibernate question

Sorry -- this thread is slightly out of order.  I mentioned 
that fonts didn't look as nice on this box as on windows and 
wondered why.  Lyle mentioned possible display driver 
problems with newer devices.

I just found a switch in the font manager that turns on 
sub-pixel rendering for fonts that is useful on LCD's and it 
helped a lot!  I also found a reference that mentioned it on 
google a couple of days ago so I knew what I was looking at 
when I found it.

The Linux desktop has improved much more in the last couple 
of years since I last tried than I would have believed possible.

Now if Gnome would just allow you to assign different desk 
tops different images so you could have a visual clue as to 
which desktop you were on.

This is an Ubuntu 7.04 install running Gnome.
