Fonts are hard to read in Wine

[aniruddha]

Ever since I installed my Radeon HD 3850 in Linux I noticed a strange problem with fonts in Wine / Crossover / Cedega. Fonts are hard to read because they are covered with a greyish line. Is this a known problem? Is there a fix?

[aniruddha]

No one knows something about this problem?


Update:
I've attached an example:

Ouch. Looks like a serious gui-rendering bug. Have you tried using the open-source radeon driver? It's not accelerated for your card (yet), but it should give you something on screen and give you an indication of whether this is a driver or wine-compatibility issue.

Thanks for the help, which driver should I use? The 'ati' driver? Or perhaps the newer oss driver?

can you post a copy of your xorg config file, because the issue might be in that... after all some applications need certain things to not be corrupted.

Sure, here goes:

try setting Textured2D, and TexturedXrender to 0... this might fix your issue.

Thanks, this worked!
