Sorry, I replied to Jay instead of the list. -ds Jay C Vollmer wrote:
It sounds like it's failing to initialize GL rendering. What are you using for 3D rendering? As I recall the T41 has an ATI chip. Are you using the Mesa rendering or the ATI driver?
Don't worry - I used to have a T41 running on OpenSUSE 10.2 with the Mesa rendering running GoogleEarth quite smoothly.
Yes, the T41 is running an ATI card. It seems I am running the ATI driver that I installed some time ago to address an offscreen rendering problem in my Java3D development - didn't help. In checking, though, I seem to be running an older version of fglrx (8.28.8-1) than was mentioned in an earlier post (8.42.3). Might try upgrading that when I get back home. Thnx. -ds -- Dennis E.
