[Tfug] XFree86 4.3 questions

[Jeremy Gregorio]

    I've read a little about the new RandR extention, but I'm not sure 
how to use it or even if it does what I want it too. I assume it will 
let me adjust resolutions on the fly without that annoying scrolling 
effect (where the size of your desktop is equal to the largest 
resolution available and your mouse lets you scroll around the desktop 
to places not visible). I just can't find any way to do that. Is this 
possible or am I just misunderstanding things.

    BTW, while I'm asking about X4.3 and whatnot, anyone know why the 
fonts in Mandrake 9.1 final (and the RCs for that matter) are still 
kinda messed up. Text will ocasionally overlap vertically and 
horizontally. Highlighting the text fixes it though. I haven't had this 
problem with redhat 8.0. I've played with the subpixel hinting option in 
KDE 3.1's menus with some success, but it's still not perfect. All I can 
figure is it's some feature Redhat enabled during the compile that 
Mandrake didn't.

    Thanks again folks :).
