rei $ dpkg -l | grep openoffice
ii  openoffice.org 1.0.3-2        high-quality office productivity suite

rei $ dpkg -l | grep 4349-2       
ii  nvidia-kernel- 1.0.4349-2     NVIDIA binary kernel module

rei $ grep RenderAcc /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
        Option          "RenderAccel"   "True"
        Option          "RenderAccel"   "True"
