Public bug reported:
Today I had a embarrassing and frustrating experience with OpenOffice
3.0.1 Impress in Ubuntu 9.04.
I was giving a talk at an engineering conference. When it was my turn
to present, I plugged in the projector, went to the display control
panel, and turned on the output to the external monitor. I ran my
presentation, but when I went to full-screen mode, only part of the
screen was visible on the projector. I moved the presentation up to the
second "virtual" screen, then tried to re-run it full screen. My whole
graphics card crashed at that point, maybe because I'm using the
terrible intel graphics onboard driver.
My advisor luckily had another laptop with the presentation on it, but
when we fired up his, the same thing happened. We couldn't get it to
look right on the projector. Finally, in desperation, we went to the
"Slide Settings" in openoffice and changed it from full screen to
"window." We managed to get through in that mode, although it
definitely was a disappointment not being in full screen.
So frustrating.
