Bryce, the problem actually occurs with other software than openoffice, the same occurs with firefox as well, and I think it's not related to the application in question. I've been using the nvidia driver version 7184 for about two years if not more and there's been no problems with it. Back in debian days it worked, and also with dapper. From dapper I went straight to feisty, and the problem appeared.
The reason I've been using the legacy (7184) version is that the tv-out on my card doesn't work with newer nvidia drivers. I tried a few back in the day and it was found out on nvidia message boards that the newer (then 8xxx) drivers simply didn't support the tv-out. I have no idea about the new 9639 legacy driver that nvidia has on their page now. I'd rather not use that as things are so much simpler with plain debs. Another symptom of the problem that I've noticed is a memory leak, the memory is being consumed little by little until it gets full. And when it gets full the freeze is more likely to occur. Since the newest kernel, 2.6.20-16, I've not seen any indications of a memory leak and I'm starting to be optimistic. Uptime is 2 days and counting.. :-/ I'll keep you posted. -- xorg freezes when running openoffice https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/113679 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
