Can't launch OpenOffice after installing graphic card

[bcarl314]

I've got a 32MB nVidia PCI graphic card from eVGA for my computer and installed it about 4 months ago.
My Computer:
OS: Dual Boot: WinXP Home / Linux RH9
Processor: P4 1.8 Ghz
RAM: 768 MB

I haven't had much time to putz with Linux since I didn't have internet access at home until recently. So now that I've got my NIC up and running and Apache working, I'm trying to use openOffice. (The last thing I need to be MS free). However, when I try to launch it, nothing happens. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the application (rpm) to no avail.

Then I read somewhere that some graphics cards aren't compatible with OO. Great, not only do I have to find a card that works with Linux, but now they're application specific???

Can somebody that uses Linux & OpenOffice let me know what, if any PCI (no AGP) graphics cards work with Linux and OpenOffice? Or if there is something I need to do with some config file (xfree86config or something)?

Thanks

Woah, that's really weird. :eek: I was running OO on rh9 with a Ati Radeon 7000 64mb AGP and it ran fine, no problems..

I guess you've googled (http://www.google.com)?

Yep, googled it. Couldn't find anything, so I backed up what I needed and reinstalled the OS. Seems to work fine now.

I'm thinking that DELL computers and their factory installed HW are not the ideal Linux environment. <shrugs>
