If I uninstall the drivers openoffice is back to working again. Well, i'd report it to the linux-bugs email address in the NVidia readme. Do you by chance have the RenderAccel extension enabled? If not, try adding: Option "RenderAccel" "1" below the place that says Driver "nvidia". Also, make sure you've commented out glcore, fbdevhw, dri, and uncommented glx. Also, try adding a new user, and then logging in as that user and using openoffice then with the new drivers. If that works, then there's like some configuration issue that's tickling a subtle bug somewhere. You could also on a lark try disabling AGP for the driver by adding: Option "NvAGP" "0" below the place that says Driver "nvidia". If you already have RenderAccel enabled, you could also try completely disabling the render extension using: Option "NoRenderExtension" "1" -- Shawn <drevil@xxxxxxxxxxxx> http://www.warpcore.org/
