I am using Opensuse 10.3 I have loaded Google Earth 4.2 When I try to run it a window opens with Google Earth and an image of the Earth. Then it crashes. Glxgears works average speed 1390 frames in 5 seconds.

Run it from a command line - you may see an error message. kai@xwing:~/downloads> googleearth kai@xwing:~/downloads>

I've seen that, too, on 10.3 - it doesn't want to say that 3d is supported but it is. I'm using an NVidia driver native and have perfect 3d support, yet YaST tells me otherwise. -- kai www.filesite.org || www.4thedadz.com || www.perfectreign.com remember - a turn signal is a statement, not a request

What kind of cpu do you have? If it is a Pentium II or III the latest Googleearth will not run. A command is missing in these cpu's That is somewhere found on an obscure place at Google. In that case they offer a former version. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

The cpu is AMD Athlon 64 Processor 3000+ Thanks, Malcolm Leatherby -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Which video driver are you using? nv or the proprietary Nvidia driver? I've got a similar system, but using the proprietary driver, Google Earth works fine. Haven't tried the nv driver.

I bought the box about 2 years ago and have not changed the driver. Where can I look to find out which driver is in use? Malcolm -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

If glx_gears works then chasing after drivers MAY be a red herring. Look for possible issues of a old driver module left laying around in your google earth install directory. (Especially if you remember hacking it to get it to run the first time you installed). At one time it was necessary to link/copy one of the driver modules into the GE directory to get it to work with various cards. This may no longer be necessary. -- ----------JSA--------- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Mmm, good point, I'd missed that detail in Malcom's earlier messages. I'd still verify the drivers, but I also do seem to recall now that there was something that had to be done on one of my systems (might've been the laptop with an ATI driver, might've been the desktop with the NVidia driver) to get the glx stuff working for GE.
