I'm pretty much stuck with the open source radeon driver at this time
which means no google earth, and totally unusable 3D effects in KDE.

Its a toss up which is more unlikely, the opensource driver becoming capable
or AMD fixing the 9.3 driver.

Luckily this is a Dell 9400 laptop, and I can swap the video out for something
better supported, which I may well do.
