Screenshot showing red tint

This is a difficult one to describe, but with the 2.2.0 driver on my Lenovo T60 (945GM) running Fedora rawhide, all of the fonts have a red tint. I've attached a screenshot which illustrates this.

I've tried changing the subpixel rendering in GNOME, but it makes no difference.

Peter Jones noted that by taking that screenshot, opening it in gimp, then selecting the gnome bar (which should be pure gray), the color is actually:

R: 236
G: 233
B: 233

So, there is definitely extra Red in there.

Well, never mind. Turns out that's what it should be.

The text is still reddish tinted though.

Turns out that this was Xft subpixel smoothing, and not an intel driver bug.
