John- You didn't mention what version of OpenOffice you're using, and I couldn't find the version quickly on the K12LTSP page. OOo 1.1/Debian works fine, as well as StarOffice 7. I don't have 2.x available to test.
I've never had OOo issues with any kernels, but I have had problems with font settings on the terminal's X server. Check to see if any presentation fails: create a new one with a single page and simple fonts and see if it fails. Also, check the OOo settings to see if OpenGL or other graphics settings are turned on, perhaps it's trying to use OpenGL for the fullscreen mode and failing. I believe the OpenGL settings are in OOo | View under options. 2.x may have other options that I can't see. -Todd John Lucas wrote: > I have run across an annoying little "gotcha" using LTSP v4.2 (updated to > latest via ltspadmin).
