My new Linux desktop box is startin' to be stylin' but now I have two questions.

One is simple. How come is it that my standard Logitech wheel mouse doesn't wheel? I read one comment that said there was an XF86Config setting (under "Pointer") that you had to set, and I've set that and restarted the display and still... nothin. I know somebody's got this going, anyone have any idears?

Two is complicated. My main beef is now FONTS. Having gotten your basic KDE desktop going, the biggest problem I have with it is the damn fonts. I know there are specific tricks that certain fonts have, to look good on displays. But in any case, these fonts just look terrible. Does anyone have good clean anti-aliased, display-corrected fonts going?
