Thanks for the help so far, to test your classification 
"xserver-xorg-video-ati" i edited xorg.conf:
Section "Device"
  Driver "vesa" # changed from value "ati" to "vesa"
  ...

After this change restarted x windows and open office writer worked
perfectly. There are no related problems in any of the other tools i
use, but all of the openoffice.org tools seem to freeze x windows at
some point. That makes me wonder what is different in openoffice in
relation to the ati driver.
