[RESOLVED]Nvidia drivers 180 and 173 don't work with Openoffice and Firefox.

[Wilson Perdomo]

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

The real annyoing problem is with the drivers for my graphics card. I using the following card:
Code:

nVidia Corporation GeForce 8400M GS (rev a1)

I'm having issues with buttons disappearing in openoffice unless I refresh the display with the 180 driver. Though the 180 driver works well considering I'm facing the right click bug. I tried changing my driver to 173 so after I restart I open openoffice and it works perfect! Now I open firefox and its very slow and buggy it has almost all the bugs that you all are reporting! I'm really annoyed by this. I guess I have no other choice till Nvidia fixes these problems.

Here is the thread about firefox being slow:

I'm getting the same problems as this problem:

^Except I get the problem above when I enable the 173 driver thats when firefox performance is terrible - even scrolling a simple text-only page or changing to a different tab is sluggish or delayed.

Could someone close it. I'm using the 180 driver and I found out what was affecting openoffice. I still seem to get the right click bug though.
