Xorg.conf

I am seeing the exact same bug with the nv driver.  I'm running Fedora 9 with
KDE on a Dell XPS1530 laptop with NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT.  Turning off
antialiasing scrambles some fonts in Kmail and Kpowersave.  Changing to the
VESA driver fixes it.  I've attached my xorg.conf file.
Comment 6 Miroslav Lichvar 2008-07-01 08:29:10 UTC 
I'm no longer seeing this issue. Probably fixed in
xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.4.99.902-3.20080612.fc9.
