I recently installed open office (in network mode) and haven't been able

I have Star Office 5.2 running on the same system(s), installed in the

This sounds like the error with the X windows environment. Check whether
you can upgrade your X, there was a bug in one of the versions,
OpenOffice.org just triggered that bug reliably.

Yep, I worked that out:
Went and bought Star Office 6.0
Installed it & same thing happened.
I found that there was a problem with the XFree 4 mga driver (Matrox G200)
Just before it crashed, I got a message from the kernel:
Oct 2 20:29:24 Node4 kernel: mtrr: 0xd8000000,0x1000000 overlaps existing 0xd8000000,0x800000
Anyway, I finally gave up (after disabling dri ... etc etc) and just went back to the V3 driver (XF86_SVGA)
That all works fine and now I've got both.
Thanks all,
Andy
