Hello Guys,

I am a total newbie with Linux. I just installed Fedora 9, and from the beginning the fonts sometimes look real scrumbled or blacked/whited out, as if there were too many or not enough pixels in the given letter. (Right now, as I type the "s", "0", "D" and "4", "b", "r" characters are partly white, hardly readable).
I have a Dell Latitude C400 laptop with integrated Intel chipset graphics video card. The "Display" tab in System Settings says the monitor is LVDS 1024x768, with a 60Hz refresh rate. The video card is Intel Corporation 82830 CGC, the model highlighted in the video cards' list is "intel - experimental modesetting driver for intel integrated graphics chipsets".
I already googled some possible combos - "video driver fedora 9" and such - but I couldn't find a solution to the problem. I tried to change the driver in the list to VESA - generic VESA-compliant video cards, but it was incompatible, or at least not working, and I had to (do some research to be able to) reconfigure the monitor display settings. The graphic interface is back, but the scrumbling-smudged problem also.
I looked through some forums, but there seemed to be nothing, either.
Could anyone suggest a way to find a solution, or a good place to find out more about the problem, so I could try and solve it?
I will be happy to provide more details, if necessary.
