Can you gdb /usr/lib/openoffice.org1.9.104/program/soffice.bin (gdb) run (gdb) bt and paste the results in here.

I can not see any obvious depency on OpenGL listed by openoffice.org-core or -writer. Typical openGL toys like glxgears works very well.
On a re-installed system without the NVIDIA driver openoffice starts and seems to run OK.
Thanks for the report. For users who are experiencing problems installing, configuring, or using the unsupported 3rd party proprietary "nvidia" video driver, Nvidia provides indirect customer support via an online web based support forum. Nvidia monitors these web forums for commonly reported problems and passes them on to Nvidia engineers for investigation. Once they've isolated a particular problem, it is often fixed in a future video driver update. The NVNews Nvidia Linux driver forum is located at: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=14 Once you have reported this issue in the Nvidia web forums, others who may have experienced the particular problem may be able to assist. If there is a real bug occuring, Nvidia will be able to determine this, and will likely resolve the issue in a future driver update for the operating system releases that they officially support. While Red Hat does not support the proprietary nvidia driver, users requiring technical support may also find the various X.Org, XFree86, and Red Hat mailing lists helpful in finding assistance: X.Org mailing lists: http://www.freedesktop.org/XOrg/XorgMailingLists XFree86 mailing lists: http://www.xfree86.org/sos/lists.html Red Hat mailing lists: https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo Setting status to "NOTABUG" (unsupported).

On my machine It seems related to SELinux settings. The cure I use: in init 3 do: 1. setenforce 0 2. (re-)install the nvidia driver 3. setenforce 1 4. init 5 I haven't dug any further (no time atm). I tried restorecon (in /usr/lib en /usr/lib64) first but that didn't cut it. It's ugly, non packaged files are ugly so YMMV.
