Ebuilds usually require at least 30 days of existence before they're considered to be marked stable. Personally I've had no issues with Google Earth. I'm using a geforce fx 5200 with the nvidia binary drivers and the performance is great. -- Raymond Lewis Rebbeck -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

It is a beta version and it has been in the tree for only 3 days. It probably won't become stable before Google declares it to be stable and that stable version from Google has been in the tree for 30 days. So that should last a while. So far it is working really well here. It is really nice. :) -- Bo Andresen pgpOcMUtsourG.pgp Description: PGP signature

It's running here on two machines. The X86 machine has DRI and runs great. On my AMD64 I haven't figured out DRI yet so I get some messages about needing it, but it still runs and is not too slow. Guess I need to finally figure out this DRI stuff! ;-) - Mark -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
