Hardware: IBM IntelliStation dual P III, Matrox G550 DVI Dual Head
(analog), Xinerama mode
Each time when I start OpenOffice and open a document (some documents,
unfortunately not every), OpenOffice crashes. The window freezes and I
have to use kill to stop it.
If I disable xinerama and and use only 1 monitor, I can work with the
documents in question. It doesn't matter wether I use the smp or the uni
kernel.
Must be related to Fedora specific issues. Installing SuSE or Mandrake
on the very same hardware does work.
Bug: 108700
There was a check in OpenOffice 1.0 which disabled anti-aliased fonts in
a Xinerama configuration because some drivers (especially the XFree
4.0/4.1 matrox driver) were buggy and could crash the X server. Maybe
the Red Hat OpenOffice rpm's include a remnant of that workaround?
