I just removed Google Earth and reinstalled it, and when I run 'nohup googleearth &', X crashes, and nohup.out is empty. When I do the libGL-trick, as I described in my first message, nohup.out contains the exact same message as I attached in the first mail.
I think it has something to do with my graphics card, but I'm not really sure. My system is a HP Compaq nc6220 notebook, with an Intel 915M chipset. Although, thats what lspci tells me: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller (rev 03) I have absolutely no idea if it is some driver problem, I just installed a newer kernel (2.6.22.16-SL103_BRANCH_20080123142852-default), but nothing changes.
Thanks in advance, Henk te Sligte
Do you have 3D support enabled? You can see more in: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=303952
I am confused.. that's just the solution! Hours of trying, searching and praying to get it working, and just a simple check placing in a checkbox, and it works. I have seen the 3D acceleration option before, but as long as my system worked like I wanted it to, I didn't enable it. If it ain't broken.. Well, it just works.. Google Earth starts, and I can finally look around the world in Linux, without the crappy web interface from Google Maps. Thank you very, very much!!
