Have you had any success getting openoffice working? I have a similar problem with xorg 7.4 and openoffice.org-000310_m1. Upon attempting to run openoffice, I get:
 $ openoffice.org-OOO310_m1
 Xlib:  extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display ":0.0".
 Xlib:  extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display ":0.0".
 $
I get no errors, feedback, or dumped cores to let me know what went wrong, but it doesn't launch. If anyone has any info or things to attempt, I'd be glad to hear it.

        This is a known item.  It appeared with xorg-7.4 because
certain functionality has been added to the Xorg libraries but not
(yet) to the server.
        In all other cases where this has appeared, it has been
eventually disgnosed as "annoying but harmless".  Unless hard
evidence to the contrary appears, look for problem elsewhere.
        It also - as far as I know, and I am not an expert - has
nothing to do with this:

> (soffice:2726): Gtk-WARNING **: GtkSpinButton: setting an > adjustment with non-zero page size is deprecated

        which is only a warning.  (But should still be investigated and
fixed.)



Thanks for the info. I ended up deinstalling the openoffice-3-RC and went with openoffice-3 and now it runs without problem. I'm not sure why the release candidate didn't work, but from my perspective, that's a problem for another day.

Thanks again,
Jon
