AW: [Re: [gentoo-dev] AA and KDE in gentoo - solved !!]

[Sebastian Werner]

The new loading mechanism was introduced with KDE-2.1.1 i think. If you use
a previous version  startkde don't use LD_BIND_NOW.

I sometimes compile the current kde cvs snapshort. The version two week ago
seems to have the same problems. I think that the problem don't depends on
XFree, the driver or the configured options. Xfree 4 is modular. If you
compile it with XFT it will use it to build all the drivers. Also, it don't
depends on the Render-module(xtt or freetype).

A good application to try if XFT work is to lauch opera with 'QT_XFT=1
opera' If opera use AA-onts, KDE must use them, too, normally.

The problems on my system was that it don't depends on the setting which i
have selected in the KDE-font-dialog. It displays only the bitmap fonts,
every time.

I hope all these problems can be forget if KDE-2.2 will realeased...

Dan,

Although AA works now, but I see your point with the speed issue. Have you
used an ebuild for compiling kde and qt on your own computer? I am using the
pre-built binaries on the rc-5 iso...

Is it possible that the difference what we are experiencing (given that you
use the same kind of video card) comes from having the pre-built binaries?

What kind of KDE and QT setup are you guys using outthere with AA problems?

I can't think of anything else...

Over the weekend I will try the NVIDIA drivers, to see whether it makes a
difference. But you said you had a working AA setup without those binary
drivers, right?

Viktor
