Re:Re: How turn off antialiasing? Gnome problem?

Hi Scott,

   I agree, the Anti-Aliasing should be turned off until
they get the interoperability/bugs worked out.

   I use RedHat 7.2 (on one computer, anyway)

   I spent 12 hours hunting down where XFree86 4.3.0 had
blown away my gnome-session, as well as trying to figure out
how to turn off the anti-aliasing.  In gnome, in nautilus,
Preferences->Intermediate
Preferences->Edit Prefrences->Appearance-> uncheck "use smoother (but 
slower) graphics"

   I added the following near the bottom of
/etc/fonts/fonts.conf

<match target="font">
   <edit name="antialias" mode="assign">
       <bool>false</bool>
   </edit>
</match>

I put the following in /etc/X11/XftConfig
match
   any size < 48
   any size > 1
   edit antialias=false;


to just turn it all off.  So many things got so badly hosed with the
anti - aliasing, I just don't want it until I've seen enough discussion
about how to make it *work*.

I also had to remove the contents of /etc/X11/xsm/system.xsm
and replace it with the single entry:
gnome-session


I hope this helps anyone else who gets stuck with either their 
gnome-session disappearing, or their fonts blowing up...
