A tip that I thought worth passing along ...

If you run xdvi under Linux on a ThinkPad, and the displayed text
looks a little blue-gray and fuzzy, then try putting the line:

   xdvi.gamma : 2.0

into your .Xdefaults file. Then type "xrdb .Xdefaults" and try
xdvi again. It made a substantial difference for me, as the text
is now darker and sharper.

I'm running RedHat "Picasso" Linux on a SVGA TP755CX, but this fix
may be applicable to other configurations as well.

Hope that helps someone!

Cheers, Joseph
