I've got a Dell 2405 LCD at home and work. At work, it's driven by a PowerBook with DVI and it's very nice. At home, I'm driving it with DVI from a Dell with a built-in Radeon card running FreeBSD-6.1-PRERELEASE. PCI:*(1:0:0) ATI Technologies Inc RV370 5B60 [Radeon X300 (PCIE)] There, it seems too sharp, too grainy, especially for text like writing code in Emacs, reading docs with Mozilla, etc. Any suggestions on how to soften it a bit? I guess I don't understand why the Mac display is comfortable but the FreeBSD Xorg display feels so irritating. Perhaps I need to use a different set of fonts or something? Thanks.
