Nope, no go. It's most bizarre. Same computer, same video card, same
video driver. Fire up X on vt7, and everything is beautiful. Fire it up
on vt8, and the fonts are really really bad. Maybe it's got something to
do with vt7 running gnome/gdm, and vt8 runs fvwm. Anybody else with
ideas on how to fix this?
