Text Display Issue

[Set Hallstrom]

Thanks ALOT for your input!

I don't have that much resolutions options to chose from. And as you
mention this, i noticed i can chose between 2 very odd values
1366x768 or 1360x768

I first tought it would make a big difference, (as you can see on this
screenshot it is clearly not properly aligned to the screen raster

But no... no noticeable change...

I'll try to fibble with gama and the xrandr command which seems to allow
me to use custom sizes. However, i must confess that i fear this hole
issue is, in my case, due to the hardware configuration i run. I'll keep
you posted if i make any progress :)

Thanks a zillion again for your time,

Set
