The OpenOffice.org and the KDM freeze the machine
Support knowledgebase (cihlarov_sw_curzor)
Applies to
SuSE Linux: Version 8.1
Symptom:
The OpenOffice.org, the KDE display manager and possibly other
applications freeze the machine. You have graphic card with nVidia chipset.
Cause:
The NVIDIA driver with the 3D acceleration support has a bug which
causes problems when the option "sw_cursor" is used.
Solution:
Do not use the 3D acceleration at all or try to remove
the line Option "sw_cursor" from the Section "Device"
from /etc/X11/XF86Config and restart the X-server.
