Description Victor Trac 2006-05-28 08:54:38 UTC

Just upgraded to 7.1 and noticed fonts are no longer correctly rendering in KDE
3.5.2.  I tried both Nvidia drivers 8756 and 8762 with the same results.  Using
the 'nv' driver works fine.

Beginning of X.org.conf:
X Window System Version 7.1.0

X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 7.1

Resorting back to open source 'nv' driver works and reverting back to 7.0 allows
me to use the 'nvidia' proprietary driver, so it points it to the ABI issue.
