--- Comment #3 from V Stuart Foote <[email protected]> ---
OK, glad that gets you functional again.

Seems like your AMD Radeon HD 8330 on Windows 10 should support OpenGL
requirements. Adding this to the bug 93529 tracker.

DriverVersion: 16.150.2211.0
DriverDate: 3-21-2016
DeviceString: AMD Radeon HD 8330

The devs have a "blacklist" mechanism for Windows builds intended to prevent
activation of OpenGL rendering with sub-par GPU and drivers, but otherwise set
it active by default.

With the wide mix of GPU and drivers, and different levels of OpenGL support in
the support Windows OS (XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1 and 10) the "blacklist" is proving
to be a challenge especially for combinations that are just on the margin of
functioning, or should function but simply don't.  Some Windows based users are
ending up with OpenGL enabled and should disable it and revert to simpler OS
and GPU hardware rendering.

OpenGL rendering is disabled by default for Linux builds. And must be manually
activated--folks decide then if it functions correctly for them. May end up
doing the same for the Windows builds.

The simple fact is some combinations of GPU OS and drivers will never function
correctly with the OpenGL based accelerated rendering being implemented,
presumably correctly, by LibreOffice.
