AA, kde3 and xft

Hi,

First my apologies for not being subscribed to this group. I _do_ check
the archives on a regular basis though...

I have a little question that has been haunting me for the past few
days:

Summary:
KDE3.0.4 (recompiled) lacks antialiasing support (in the GUI) when
compiled against a recent CVS (19 nov 2002) of XFree86.

What I found out so far:

My X env supports RENDER &
AA works with my current X (CVS) compilation (xterm -fa "andale" shows
AA'd xterm).
Even kfontinstall shows AA'd preview of the fonts!!
(I switched on AA support in KDE/Kcontrol)

I suspect I need working xft headers in order to have anti-aliased fonts
in KDE?
I assume the debian QT3 packages are compiled with -xft?

./configure decides to give up on xft because Xft.h refers to a file
that can't be found. (But continues).

Checking Xft.h reveals that it refers to freetype.h, which is available,
not in the freetype dir but freetype2/freetype.
