How can I use font-aliasing (font edge-smoothing) with XFree86 / X11 /
Gnome /KDE, etc..
I read from XFrees site that it is a feature of the xfree base 4.x .
Are fonts in XFree really supposed to look so bad?

Yes. You'll have to wait until modified versionsQuote:> Are fonts in XFree really supposed to look so bad?

How could anyone know me - when I don't even know myself ?
1. Problem compiling XFree with font Anti-aliasing support
I installed Freetype2, edited host.def, and $make World compiled without a
hitch (54mins on my PIII-866 /w 128 RAM !!!!)
However it crashed in the middle of $make install with the following error:
-------------------
xf86Wacom.c:69: linux/input.h: No such file or directory
make[6]: *** [xf86Wacom.o] Error 1
make[6]: Leaving directory
`/root/xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/input/wacom'
make[5]: *** [all] Error 2
make[5]: Leaving directory `/root/xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/input'

make[2]: *** [install] Error 2

make[1]: *** [install] Error 2

-----------------------
What is Wacom? Do I need it? If not, can I disable its compilation? I'm
using Debian 2.2 (Potato) with a 2.4.1 kernel.
Thanks!
