i just installed slackware 10. everything was cool until i edited xorg.conf (changed color depth to 32bit) and was unable to get into X.

i booted an old Slax liveCD (slax.linux-live.org) maybe version 2x sumthin' and was able to fix the problem. however, when i started X, the fonts were crappy like the one in the old slax CD. i tried antialiasing settings, no good. that was for the root acount. i created a normal user and things were ok. no crappy fonts.

suggestions (and criticisms) are most welcome. thanks
 
don't be confused on the bit-depths. 24-bit in linux is the same thing as 32-bit depth in windows, and most cards don't support true 32-bit color since windows doesn't support it.

and since your fonts work fine in a normal user account (don't run as root. don't run as root. don't run as root.) it looks like you're fixed now :)

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
