I'm trying to run Staroffice 6 on my Debian machine. On installation, it griped about not having libXrender.so, so I made a link from that name to libXrender.so.1.0. That allowed the install to proceed fine.
But, now when I start Staroffice, after a few clicks on menu choices (e.g. trying to open a document) the mouse hangs. For a couple minutes, 1-2 pixel width lines appear horizontally across the screen sporadically. After that the machine is hosed totally. Every once in a while, during the line drawing episodes, I've been able to get the machine to respond to a cntrl-alt-backspace, but not often. I checked the archives and it looks like some others are running Staroffice 6 beta fine, so does anyone know if this problem looks like an X problem... missing some libraries?? Or what? Possibly a problem simply from using Debian unstable? Using KDE; using unstable on an IBM Thinkpad T20 (been using Debian for about a month only, sorry). Everything else seems to work pretty good, though I have some minor problems with other apps (On some applications - like Mozilla - menu fonts are huge). Am I missing a critcical piece of the X server perhaps? -- Marsha Petry [EMAIL PROTECTED]
