Try the opengl (though this doesn't look like that problem) workaround at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/OpenOffice.org and also attach your /var/log/Xorg.log and ensure that the nvidia driver is the very latest. A problem is that we're talking about a 3rd party proprietary driver. If this is reproducible with another driver then I'm very interested. But the nvidia drivers are a tale of unending woe What happens if you run glxgears ? Checkout around with google on those errors and nvidia I see quite a few reports about this wrt opengl using apps (like OOo is), so it looks like a generic issue and not specific to OOo. Thanks for the help. Here are the resuts of your suggestions: from Comment #1) adding SAL_NOOPENGL or SAL_DISABLE_CAIROTEXT made no difference. from Comment #2) glxinfo does return a similar "BadMatch" error. I tried changing to the NV driver but X did not start, saying that a resource was already in use. It turns out the nv driver does not support dual head over one card. When I turn Xinerama off, at least I can run ooffice. In this new configuration (no Xinerama), glxinfo causes X to crash immediately. It looks safe to say that the problem is an nvidia issue. |
Description of problem: After enabling Xinerama, starting any ooffice program results in a sequence of X errors and a normal exit (return code 0) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): openoffice.org-core-2.3.0-6.5.fc7 xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-96xx-96.43.05-4.lvn7 xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.3.0.0-16.fc7 How reproducible: Allways Steps to Reproduce: 1. Enable Xinerama in xorg.conf 2. restart X 3. try to start any openoffice product. Actual results: [me@mybox ~]$ oowriter X-Error: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) Major opcode: 78 (X_CreateColormap) Resource ID: 0x0 Serial No: 111 (111) X-Error: BadColor (invalid Colormap parameter) Major opcode: 84 (X_AllocColor) Resource ID: 0x2a00003 Serial No: 113 (113) X-Error: BadColor (invalid Colormap parameter) Major opcode: 84 (X_AllocColor) Resource ID: 0x2a00003 Serial No: 115 (115) X-Error: BadColor (invalid Colormap parameter) X-Error: BadColor (invalid Colormap parameter) Major opcode: 1 (X_CreateWindow) Resource ID: 0x2a00003 Serial No: 117 (117) X-Error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) Major opcode: 18 (X_ChangeProperty) Resource ID: 0x2a00004 Serial No: 119 (119) X-Error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) Major opcode: 18 (X_ChangeProperty) Resource ID: 0x2a00004 Serial No: 121 (121) <snip/> X-Error: BadColor (invalid Colormap parameter) Major opcode: 1 (X_CreateWindow) Resource ID: 0xa9 Serial No: 264 (264) [me@mybox ~]$ Expected results: Openoffice should start. Additional info: I had to set Section "Extensions" Option "Composite" "false" EndSection in xorg.conf to get gnome-terminal to work.
