We're at the point of cutting candidate trees for the release, so testing current rawhide would be VERY useful.
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?
