Well, I just tried loading a .ppt file in LibreOffice. The application fonts were corrupted. When I resized the window (from max to restored), it hung the system. Bob On Tue, Apr 30, 2013 at 11:14 PM, Bob Morain rmor...@gmail.com wrote: Turning off hardware acceleration seems to have made

After trying your suggestion, I had to cycle power to reboot (no other way to get control). I opened a .docx file and then a .xlsx file. The screen flashed several times, displayed the documents and then went dark and unresponsive. Bob On Apr 30, 2013 3:42 PM, Bryan Quigley gqu...@gmail.com

The open source driver is even worse. Fonts appear corrupted, the screen is unstable, images jump around, unintelligible patterns overlay meaningful windows,... The Nvidia 304 drivers are most stable, but not perfect. Bob On Apr 30, 2013 4:40 PM, Björn Michaelsen bjoern.michael...@canonical.com

Turning off hardware acceleration seems to have made LibreOffice more stable. Not sure, since I have only opened a few files, but it seems to be working. The webgl-conformance-tests.html page did indeed crash Firefox, after reporting some failed tests. Thanks, Bob On Tue, Apr 30, 2013 at
