Has anybody also installed Slack 14 on an HP Pavilion a6400f w/ HP w1907 wide screen? I just finished an install and while everything seems to work, haven't tried sound yet, I did notice one thing. There is a "shadow" around characters in some instances. Take the xfce desktop and the "Home", "File System" and "Trash" icon labels. They are black on dark blue, I get a white "shadow" vertically on each side of the characters (one pixel?) and it looks like crap and hard to read. This also happens on the black on gray panel and menu characters. Using xfce4.
Monitor settings are the recommended 1440x900 59.9hz.
Could be a driver issue. Have you considered looking into upgrading into Slackware's -Current release for driver support since all of Intel's drivers are open-source based?
