Google Earth For Linux


Recommended Posts

google has made beta 4 compatable for linux

I have found a problem with the ati card and google earth. if I use the fglrx driver I get segfaults, but if I use the xorg ATI driver it runs (slow as there is no openGL)

the newest ATI driver does not work with the 2.6.16 kernel (ati changed the wrapper but not there binary so the wrapper in ati's driver compiles stuff that the binary part does not understand.. )

ATI *** PI**C***E ** OF CR*P
