22 Well it /wasn't/ when I sent that message. But, a look at Xorg.0.log
23 showed me that the ati driver (6.11.0) had an ABI mismatch with the
24 server version. A recompile of that driver and I'm up now.
25
26 Except for the ginormous font size I have now I'm back to work.
27
28 Any idea on how to fix my fonts now? I had this problem with this
29 driver once before and couldn't find an answer.
