  "What we have here is a failure to communicate".  Let me restate my
question.  I already have GoogleEarth for linux installed.  It's damn
slow.  The subject in my original original post is not about installing,
but about speeding up GoogleEarth.  What is "the Gentoo way" of
installing proprietary ATI drivers for my video card?

Googleearth is in portage.  You have to unmask it but it's in there and
it worked fine for me.  At least it was anyway.

I hope that helps.

[gentoo-user] Speed up GoogleEarth on an ATI RV370 5B60 [Radeon X300 (PCIE)]?

2007-03-04 Thread Walter Dnes
  Is it possible using standard Gentoo, or do I have to load a
proprietary driver?  In either case, what are the steps to follow?  I
did try Google, and found a zillion links on how to install GoogleEarth
under Wine, which is not what I want.
