Has anyone here managed to run the recently released Google Earth on SuSE? I've installed it on my SuSE 10.1 box but the display is a total mess. According the google download page it has been confirmed to run on SuSE 10.1 but I do wonder how.
(I've posted a question on the Google Earth forum but the activity there seems to be very low.)
My hardware is a Dell Precision 490 (2 Dual Core Xeons) + nVidia Quadro NVS 285.
Works for me on 9.3. Haven't tried on 10.x yet. Oh yeah, also works on Kubuntu. Radeon 7900 (or some such). My display is initially a mess too. I believe this is because the chipset does not clear itself properly before GE starts using it. I wait till the first display is completed its zoom in, then resize the window and everything is perfect from then on out. I've also seen this behavior with tux racer. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
