Comment 1 Caolan McNamara 2006-04-11 16:58:10 UTC
Whatever that is, it's a bug with nvidia drivers rather than OOo.

You can try and disable OOO's 3d support with 

> export SAL_NOOPENGL=true
> oowriter

Does that work around the problem ?

Alternatively try disabling selinux.

Yep, setting SAL_NOOPENGL=true works for me.

I never had selinux enabled.

Thanks.
