I just send-pr'd (with patch) the last bit of the handbook section
on X fonts, which says anti-aliased fonts are not possible (since they
now are).
I'm thinking of contributing a small handbook section on configuring
and setting up a complete KDE-based desktop, including kdm instead of
xdm. Is there anyone else already writing up something like this?
I thought of covering:
installing qt, kde2 from the ports
the startkde script
overview of the programs included in kde2
configuring kdm: editing the /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/ files to make
them work with kdm, etc.
setting up anti-aliased fonts.
Anything else that should go in there?
(Disclaimer: I'm doing kde because I know it moderately well now, it
doesn't mean I dislike gnome or blackbox or whatever. I also think
the handbook should have a few small sections on other WM's or desktop
environments; but having one, at least, is I think a good start for
newbies.)
Thanks
Rahul.
