ooffice? or my problem?

[Zbigniew Koziol]

There is sometrhing wrong with your understanding of OpenOffice ;)

This is on another subject, but interesting.

When I had a problem with OO, I did upgrade the system.

And then I was sucked. Like a mirracle. After rebooting from upgrade I
was not able to use mouse, neither gpm or in X. I have no lynx
installed at home but I was able to connect to my work computer and
use Lynx from there to search for information. I searched a lot.

And finally, not really as a result of searching, I did that myself: I
dsabled the newest kernel that was upgradet from booting, in grub, and
returned to the older kernel I used before. Mouse works now again!
