Cannot get Crisp Display on Laptop with ATi Mobility Radeon 9700 128 MB Graphics card

Please see the same question in the "Linux - Laptop and handheld" forum.
With the above title.

I cannot get the sharpness (crispness) of the fonts.

cheers

What distro? I fixed it with;
/home/yourname/.fonts.conf I use xorg

Code:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

 <!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">

 <!-- /etc/fonts.conf file to configure system font access -->

 <fontconfig> 

 

 <!--  Enable sub-pixel rendering 

        <match target="font">

                <test qual="all" name="rgba">

                        <const>unknown</const>

                </test>

                <edit name="rgba" mode="assign"><const>rgb</const></edit>

        </match>

  

  -->

  

 <!-- Autohint fonts

        <match target="font">

                <edit name="autohint" mode="assign"><bool>true</bool> </edit>

        </match>

 -->

 

 <!-- Antialias --> 

 

 <match target="font">

        <test qual="any" name="size" compare="more">

                <double>8</double>

        </test>

        <test qual="any" name="size" compare="less">

                <double>15</double>

        </test>

        <edit name="antialias" mode="assign">

                <bool>true</bool>

        </edit>

 </match> 

 

 </fontconfig>
