No you are not out of luck. There are two things you can do. Both of them
easy.
1. Use the SVGA drivers instead of the S3 drivers for X11.
2. (The simplest) Define a variable in your start-up files eg. .tcshrc of
.bashrc.
setenv SAL_DO_NOT_USE_INVERT50 true
or
export SAL_DO_NOT_USE_INVERT50=true
and everything will be fine. How do I know, because they mentioned this
some where in their installation documentation and I too have an S3 Virge
card.
You will love this Star Office its faster and better than 4.0 and now I
feel like I want to buy a copy. With 4.0 I felt like it was so useless I
was glad I did not cough up some money for it, but I am going to buy the
Windows version just so I can get my hand on their manuals.
