After upgrading from ubuntu 8.10 to 9.4, starting openoffice writer will
freeze the system, the mouse will still move but stutters. Music will
keep playing but stutters. Nothing will work but a hard reset.
The following item seems related but didn't help me:

- The system will also hang with:
+ The system will freeze with other actions in ooffice tools, for example:
openoffice calc -> Tools -> Options -> OpenOffice.org -> Java-> parameters
- i edited xorg.conf:
- Section "Device"
- Driver "vesa" # changed from value "ati" to "vesa"
- ...
+ Opening a fileof RTF type will show the contents, doing anything will cause
the freeze
+ Opening ODT will show an empty oowriter screen and freeze immediately
- After this change restarted x windows and open office writer worked
- perfectly. There are no related problems in any of the other tools i
- use, but all of the openoffice.org tools seem to freeze x windows at
- some point.
+ Editing section "Device" in xorg.conf prevents the freeze when using
+ Driver "vesa" in stead of "ati" or add Option "NoAccel" "true".
