Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Problem with Linux open nouveau video driver

You see? If you are still having trouble, Your problem is not nouveau. From your lsmod output your 
video graphics is entirely handled by kmod-nvidia (although the nouveau package is installed, it is 
disabled). I personally grew weary of nvidia propriety driver months ago and settled for nouveau.  

It'll be interesting if I can replicate your scenario otherwise I've had no issues using 
LibreOffice on my nouveau driver.
