OpenOffice won't run with fglrx driver

[andrewm]

Binary package hint: openoffice.org

Hello.

I'm currently running the latest Ubuntu Feisty with the following packages:

openoffice.org - 2.1-2ubuntu4
linux-image-2.6.20-6-generic - 2.6.20-6.11
linux-restricted-modules-2.6.20-6-generic - 2.6.20.1-6.1
xorg - 1:7.1.1ubuntu7
xorg-fglrx - 7.1.0-8.32.5+2.6.20.1-6.1

My machine uses an ATi x1400 graphics card and is running the fglrx driver.

The problem is that whenever any OpenOffice program is run it will fail to run after the splash screen disappears.

If the ~/.openoffice2 directory is deleted it will freeze midway on the splash screen.

When I am running with the vesa xorg driver OpenOffice works perfectly, I believe this issue is caused by the fglrx driver. fglrx appears to be working normally for everything else.

I will also attach console output and straces of the issue.

Thanks for your time.

Attached is console output, straces, xorg configs and glxinfo.

I'm having this exact same problem on dapper. I downloaded the latest fglrx driver from the ati website a couple of days ago (the fglrx driver installed by default had an unrelated bug of freezing up at shutdown), and installed it manually.

Now Open Office won't run after calling up the splash screen. Please help! OO is pretty mission critical for most of us.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug.

I am unable to reproduce this bug using the fglrx drivers. Is this still an issue for you with OOo 2.2?

I defidentally still have this issue with OOo 2.2, fglrx 8.35.5... I think it might also be scim related, but not sure... KOffice still runs but I need something to read MS documents!
