Donn, I have an nvidia chipset graphics card and an LCD. If I use the 'nv' drivers 
all the colors are lousy (the fonts also). As soon as I switch to the nvidia 
drivers everything, including the fonts, looks much better.

Here is the relevant sections of my xorg.conf:

Section "Device"
   identifier "NVIDIA Corporation NV37GL [Quadro FX 330/GeForce PCX 5300]"
   boardname "NVIDIA GeForce FX (generic)"
   busid "PCI:5:0:0"
   driver "nvidia"
   screen 0
   vendorname "NVIDIA"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
   identifier "Generic Monitor"
   modelname "Custom 1"
   modeline  "640x480 at 60" 25.2 640 656 752 800 480 490 492 525 -vsync -hsync
   modeline  "800x600 at 56" 36.0 800 824 896 1024 600 601 603 625 +hsync +vsync
   modeline  "800x600 at 60" 40.0 800 840 968 1056 600 601 605 628 +hsync +vsync

   modeline  "1280x854" 80.0 1280 1309 1460 1636 854 857 864 896 +hsync +vsync
   gamma 1.0
EndSection

Section "Screen"
   Identifier "Default Screen"
   Device "NVIDIA Corporation NV37GL [Quadro FX 330/GeForce PCX 5300]"
   Monitor "Generic Monitor"
   DefaultDepth 24
   SubSection "Display"
     depth 24
     virtual 1280 854
     modes "1024x768 at 60" "1152x768 at 54" "800x600 at 60" "1280x854" "800x600 at 56"

   EndSubSection
EndSection
