*) wenn using a Simple Screen Configuration:
- suspend & Hibernate work fine
- openoffice work fine

*) wenn using a Dual Screen Configuration:
- Trying to Suspend or Hibernate just restarts X
- Launching openoffice also restarts X

I got the same hardware,too and the same problems.

After Update to edgy eft -X-Server crashes when using dual screen configuration starting
either an X-session in xfce4 or OpenOffice.
Turning of the second display solves the problem.

This problem occurs here as well. Xorg with dualscreen and OpenOffice don't seem to like one another. IBM Thinkpad R52 Intel Integrated 915. Abit of a pain in the ass, as its nice to have the larger desktop real estate.

Same problem on an ASUS M5200N laptop with integrated 855GM. A soon as I disable the second screen OpenOffice runs fine. I had everything working fine in ubuntu 6.06, problem only occurred after updating to 6.10.

I had to comment the modules glx, dri and the hole DRI section. Now i can use Openoffice without any problem. Attached is my xorg.conf working with an 1280x800 external monitor.
