------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue Apr 17 12:07:47 +0000 2007 ------- thb: It does fix it for me. The effect seems to run normal, and no crash occur. Disabling write comnbining does NOT help and requires a reboot. Changing hardware acceleration DOES help in most cases, and does not require a reboot (only blanks/flickers the screen for two seconds or so, but that is not a problem IMHO - better than crashing). Problem is, that this requires admin privileges. One solution is to install a service that does it for OOo (but this is a bit much for a workaround), or rely on users being admins (true for most cases). We also could ask users for admin password if a non-admin user is being detected, and add the possibility to disable the workaround in the users profile. I agree, this is a lot of workload for this bug, but I think this one is real important. "Normal" users just think Impress is shit, because their fancy presentations do not work, and normal users do not want to jiggle with lots of options. :-) Some other solutions that might be helpful: - We could try the "original" MS driver, not the ATI one, maybe that helps (but it does not help our users). - Testing if Vista and 2K have this bug as well, or if it is truly related to XP, so we at least know which systems are affected. - Lowering down other settings in the graphics driver. I think in the ATI drivers, you can adjust most acceleration things, maybe one of these is it. I am willing to help in testing builds with this workaround, as I have an affected system here (my ThinkPad). --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
