I have a Compaq laptop R3240. The chipset and graphics are nVidia. I know the wireless is Broadcom (because I had to poke it some to get it to work), but I have no idea what the rest of the stuff is, but it all works out of the box -- mouse, ethernet, USB, firewire, sound, etc. There is an e-list for Compaq R3000 Linux users that I have subscribed to for some time. Just now I posted a query there to see if any other R3000 users have run into the same problem. > BTW: You may have seen this already, but: > http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Porting_to_x86-64_(AMD64,_EM64T) > notice the Java bits "You have to have a 64bit Java installed.

I was already aware that OOo 2.2 is expected in March, but I doubt that it will resolve the problem -- for the same reason that 2.1 did not help. It will probably take 64-bit, and that won't be until September. However, having said that, I understand that Feisty comes with a 64-bit OOo. I am assuming that the Ubuntu folks compiled it from source. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
