I just meant that it might be worth hanging on my wall if I didn't need my monitor for other things. I used synaptic on Ubuntu 9.10 release. when I was done with the install process I rebooted my system when my display turned to graphic noise, random blocks of pixels in random patterns (that is the best way I can describe it without getting a picture of it). I removed the google earth install and all was well on the next reboot. I am figuring it is a graphics setting that needs tweaking but I am a little (ok, a lot) in the dark as to where to start to look for info. Ive a 3 year old dell notebook, Any directions or helpful links? Much appreciation.
