Comment 42 for bug 300476

Dan,

the problem I had (and that is cited in bug #251107) is that with the recently released nvidia legacy driver compatible with Xorg 7.5, that is 96.43.09, OOo, KDE3 and Wine applications don't show neither menus nor dialog text. Completely. All the room reserved for menu and and other text is simply white, though it responds to the mouse click correctly and some blinking text is shown, but then disappears. All these effects with the xorg workaround are not present (for OOo and KDE3 apps). This is a known bug to be bored in order to have accelerated 3d and desktop effects for, as me, have old graphic cards.

Thank you for your support
