Do you know if it uses ooo-build[1] from Ximian/Novell, Debian, SuSE, Gentoo, etc ... ?

I would guess they are graphics adapters-related. One of those is a Matrox MGA G200 AGP, another is a S3 Trio3D, and the last one is an nVidia TNT chipset. If I can help in fixing those... My laptop is an IBM T23, with a Savage adapter. > Bye, > Dario [1] http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Ooo-build -- FreeSBIE mailing list (http://www.freesbie.org)
