Earlier in this thread you mentioned you're using the ati driver. Do you have the fglrx driver package (xorg-driver-fglrx) installed as well? It installs its own libGL library, which is incompatible with the x.org one. And a quick test on my Ubuntu machine (with a Radeon 9250) gives the same error. So, uninstall xorg-driver-fglrx and try it again. :-) -- Pete -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

Re: [SLUG] Running Google Earth in Ubuntu
I changed my 9250 ATI for a 6200 G-Force Nvidia (less than $90 for the 256Mb model) and it runs well. I have it running in the background at this time. Not sure what is causing it to use so much CPU on your machine Ken. It does not take much CPU at all on mine. It is fast and smooth and has no effect on performance. So if you really want to run it and can't get the ATI running the way you want, an Nvidia is a cheap replacement. (BTW, easyubuntu will go and get the proprietary drivers and install them if you really must.)

[SLUG] Running Google Earth in Ubuntu
Afternoon All, I have been trying to run googleearth in Ubuntu Feisty. The video card seems to be RV280 Radeon 9200 PRO. The driver in /etc/X/xorg.conf is shown as ati. The application starts and and reports that it is Initialising but never proceeds further. While running it seems to be using a lot of CPU. Which logs are most likely to show what is going on? cheers, Ken -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
