Hmm...strange thing you are describing. ;-)
Did you read the thread named "xorg / R51 fonts display blurry?" (Dez.
12th)? But this shouldn't help you for what you discribe.

Try using something else than GNOME. I.E. start KDE if you have it and
look there. If the problem vanishes it's a GNOME one.
Also try a simple non-aliased font program, like a GTK-1 app. If they
are not blurred in there, it's a antialiasing problem.
Finally, load GIMP or an image viewer and watch a bitmap with a diagonal
or rounded sharp contrast border line. If that's not blurred it's only
the fonts, else the whole display.
Other things i can imagine is that your X uses a strange mode to show
1024x768 resolution on the internal display, but i never heard of
something like that before.
