I run into this problem, only I don't have to restart. I hit ctrl+alt+f1, log in, and su to root. I init 3 and ps my username. I then kill all my username processes. After that is done, I init 5 and I'm back in business. No reboot. After X is back up and running, I can then go back to oocalc and the same thing that locked up X doesn't anymore. I go a couple of days w/o problems with oocalc, then it starts all over. Then I just rinse and repeat. It's a pain. I've tried updating, turning off the use of java. I'll try the suggestion about 3D to see of that helps. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
