Yes, I can attest to this. I have this problem on both Ubuntu and Kubuntu Feisty, installed with beta cds and fully updated online till today. OOstart freezes or crashes with a few different console outputs. Problem goes away when I switch back to vesa driver on my x1300 ati card (Dell E1505). So this is almost definitely caused by fglrx. I can sometimes have openoffice work if I log in and out a few times switching to Chinese interface and back to English. Not really a repeatable pattern as far as I can see. Of course, after an X server reboot, openoffice always fails again. Below is a thread on the forum that details the error messages and symptoms from a few people including myself. I didn't have any issue in the past with 6.10 and envy's fglrx installer.
