I've been toying with FreeBSD for a week or two now, and I'm a bit concerned with the graphic quality of X-windows. I'm using an 800x600 display, and it is setup for a nice little S3 card. So far, I'm completely non-plussed by the graphic quality of X. I know it does colour, but the whole thing looks so chunky, almost like an old PC running ega. Maybe I just need to be weaned of 95/NT/NeXT type stuff, but I expected a better looking interface. Am I completely blind ? please educate me...
