You see? If you are still having trouble, Your problem is not nouveau. From your lsmod output your video graphics is entirely handled by kmod-nvidia (although the nouveau package is installed, it is disabled). I personally grew weary of nvidia propriety driver months ago and settled for nouveau.
It'll be interesting if I can replicate your scenario otherwise I've had no issues using LibreOffice on my nouveau driver. --------------------------------------------- from twohot@device.mobile :) -----Original Message----- From: Andrew Douglas Pitonyak <and...@pitonyak.org> Date: Sat, 03 Dec 2011 17:55:12 To: <users@global.libreoffice.org> Reply-To: users@global.libreoffice.org Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Problem with Linux open nouveau video driver [root@pitonyak ~]# lsmod | grep -i nvidia nvidia 12112133 40 i2c_core 25728 3 nvidia,videodev,i2c_i801 Without grep: Module Size Used by lp 9581 0 tun 14111 0 ppdev 7360 0 parport_pc 19600 0 parport 32310 3 lp,ppdev,parport_pc fuse 61671 5 bnep 14195 2 bluetooth 202902 7 bnep lockd 70080 0 rfkill 16336 3 bluetooth ip6t_REJECT 4008 2 nf_conntrack_ipv6 7714 2 nf_defrag_ipv6 9115 1 nf_conntrack_ipv6 nf_conntrack_ipv4 8310 2 nf_defrag_ipv4 1513 1 nf_conntrack_ipv4 xt_state 1306 4 nf_conntrack 67597 3 nf_conntrack_ipv6,nf_conntrack_ipv4,xt_state ip6table_filter 1655 1 ip6_tables 16776 1 ip6table_filter binfmt_misc 6983 1 reiserfs 211389 2 nvidia 12112133 40 uvcvideo 56989 0 videodev 78689 1 uvcvideo joydev 9567 0 snd_usb_audio 105405 1 snd_usbmidi_lib 18071 1 snd_usb_audio snd_rawmidi 19878 1 snd_usbmidi_lib snd_hda_codec_realtek 312967 1 media 11511 2 uvcvideo,videodev v4l2_compat_ioctl32 7665 1 videodev snd_hda_intel 24072 2 snd_hda_codec 85462 2 snd_hda_codec_realtek,snd_hda_intel snd_hwdep 6264 2 snd_usb_audio,snd_hda_codec snd_seq 52186 0 snd_seq_device 5941 2 snd_rawmidi,snd_seq i7core_edac 16001 0 snd_pcm 78498 3 snd_usb_audio,snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec snd_timer 19372 2 snd_seq,snd_pcm i2c_i801 9237 0 edac_core 40154 3 i7core_edac snd 63124 17 snd_usb_audio,snd_usbmidi_lib,snd_rawmidi,snd_hda_codec_realtek,snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec,snd_hwdep,snd_seq,snd_seq_device,snd_pcm,snd_timer iTCO_wdt 12024 0 iTCO_vendor_support 2578 1 iTCO_wdt soundcore 6267 1 snd snd_page_alloc 7311 2 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm r8169 40493 0 asus_atk0110 12395 0 i2c_core 25728 3 nvidia,videodev,i2c_i801 microcode 18539 0 mii 4335 1 r8169 serio_raw 4298 0 uinput 7230 0 sunrpc 201219 2 lockd ata_generic 3587 0 pata_acpi 3419 0 mxm_wmi 1727 0 firewire_ohci 26101 0 pata_jmicron 2643 0 firewire_core 49303 1 firewire_ohci crc_itu_t 1547 1 firewire_core wmi 9049 1 mxm_wmi uas 7775 0 usb_storage 45966 0 On 12/03/2011 02:10 AM, Onyeibo Oku wrote: > What's your output for: > > lsmod nvidia > > > --------------------------------------------- > from twohot@device.mobile :) > > -----Original Message----- > From: Andrew Douglas Pitonyak<and...@pitonyak.org> > Date: Fri, 02 Dec 2011 21:57:16 > To:<users@global.libreoffice.org> > Reply-To: users@global.libreoffice.org > Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Problem with Linux open nouveau video > driver > > I was not aware of Leigh's advice until I saw your response here.
