Bugzilla Bug 158701

There is nothing we can do about this I know. Just figured a message could be
inserted telling users of ati-drivers that they will need to switch to xorg-x11
opengl in order to use googleearth.

I should also note I have sent a basic report upstream for ati-drivers about
the breakage ... Soon as I hear from them you will hear from me :-b

I am having all kind of issues with ati-drivers-8.32.5. I get major display
corruption issues in various OpenGL contexts. Running fgl_glxgears causes a
banner of display corruption across the top of my screen and OpenGL games are
unplayable due to the display corruption.

Are you having a similar issue with Google Earth? Could this be an upstream
issue?

Check out this thread http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-3810007.html#3810007

This fixed my problem (googleearth hangs on start-up). It seems that GE is
looking for a missing lib (libGL.so.1). 

Created an attachment (id=105455) [details]
ati and nvidia properly supported even with newer ati-drivers

Patch says it all. Simple hack to keep googleearth happy with ati-drivers
>8.27.x

Created an attachment (id=105456) [details]
force nvidia for no reason

Like I told genstef there is no need to force nvidia, mesa can be used but he
insists on forcing a full package not needed. I have made my point clear and do
not agree but here it is.

thanks, fixed

This is not fixed ..

I cannot listen to you if you dont explain yourself. Looks good and correct to
me. DOnt reopen this bug without explaining in detail what is wrong, why it is
wrong and why you would want to do it different. And think about it ..
