Swap Space Not Being Used?

I'm using FC4 on a Dell Inspiron 2200 (for over 1 year). OOo has started
crashing when working with inserting large picture files (although I've
worked with them in the past without problem). I noticed in xosview that
the physical memory (0.5GB) quickly goes up near the maximum and then OOo
exits. I also noticed that the swap space (which I believe is about 1GB)
always shows exactly zero. (On a 2gb memory dual opteron system, xosview
reports 845mb.) Shouldn't xosview show some swap space being used?
Here is the partition table reported by fdisk:
Disk /dev/hda: 60.0 GB, 60011642880 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 7296 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 1 6 48163+ de Dell Utility

Solaris
/dev/hda7 2698 6919 33913183+ 8e Linux LVM
Any ideas on how I can check on whether swap is being used and/or turn
sway back on if it is actually not being used?
