One of my machines runs a GeForce4 card and uses the legacy 96.XX |
| 12 |
drivers. |

I had the same problems with font smudging in *all* programs and on the |
| 18 |
kde desktop. It was almost impossible to even read the start menu. |

I solved the problem by adding nvidia-drivers |
| 21 |
(x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers ~x86) to /etc/portage/package.keywords. The |
| 22 |
latest 96.XX driver was installed which was 96.43.11 |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
You do need: |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
>=x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-100.00.00 |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
in /etc/portage/package.mask so that the latest (~x86) 96.XX driver will be |
| 29 |
installed. |

I'm not sure if it will work for you, but maybe it's work a try. |
