Hi, Like several other persons I experienced a problem of crashing XWindows while trying to run StarOffice (yes, I have S3ViRGE card). By using the SVGA server I could solve the problem but unfortunately Netscape icons looks funny at 24bpp. Recently I noticed that VMWare has a couple of optimized xservers (http://www.vmware.com/support/xfree86.html). I downloaded s3v, changed the first line in /etc/X11/Xserver and everything works as expected now. StarOffice doesn't hang up and Netscape looks great. I hope someone will find this information useful.
