When I get my x1900 in a couple of days, I'll fire it up to see if I get the same result you do. My current 6200TC with its shared memory has that known bug with blocks of textures missing (mentioned above.)


This bug has been resolved with Nvidia beta drivers 9625.
I have a 6150 integrated chip and I had the problem you mention plus the cursor disappearing if rendered via hardware.
Now both problems are solved.

GoogleEarth started fine after nvidia driver was upgraded, then it updated itself to the latest version, which too works flawlessly.

Hi guy
I've this strange problem with googleearth:
I can run it only with
#eselect opengl set xorg-x11
#googleearth

with ati opengl
it stuck on the title window with google earth logo and don't load the main window!

System is running a fglrx video device module!

As is it's really slow!


This solve it for me:
emerge ati-drivers --unmerge
emerge ati-drivers
eselect opengl set ati

and then restart the X server

Anyone have a solution for:

emerge googleearth on my amd64 complains that the size of the downloaded binary does not match the expected size, even
after a recent emerge --sync.
are there any reasons for this? how can i correct it without changing the manifest file?

Google doesn't name its binaries with the version numbers so you just get the latest version that happens to be on the file server each time you merge. I think an emerge --digest googleearth should do the trick I think. (I don't know of a way without doing that)

You may consider doing this:
Code:
# cd /usr/portage/x11-misc/googleearth/
# ebuild googleearth-4_beta.ebuild manifest

Probably putting this in an overlay will be a better choice though... but anyway I emerge googleearth with this yesterday

If you have googleearth slow with radeon fre river, you can try this (it worked for me!):
(see http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2006-November/msg05262.html)

emerge driconf
run driconf
and select disable_lowimpact_fallback option to yes

I did it as root and in /etc/drirc I obtained this:
more /etc/drirc
<driconf>
<device screen="0" driver="r300">
<application name="all">
<option name="disable_lowimpact_fallback" value="true" />
</application>
</device>
</driconf>

I tried googleearth just after and it was incredibly faster! :D

Okay,

Here is my configuration:
chris@loveshugshug ~ $ fglrxinfo
display: :0.0 screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: RADEON XPRESS Series
OpenGL version string: 2.0.6334 (8.34.8 )

and this is fgl gears test result:

chris@loveshugshug ~ $ fgl_fglxgears
Using GLX_SGIX_pbuffer
991 frames in 5.0 seconds = 198.200 FPS
1093 frames in 5.0 seconds = 218.600 FPS
1078 frames in 5.0 seconds = 215.600 FPS
1108 frames in 5.0 seconds = 221.600 FPS

So I can be pretty sure that my ATI card is up and running.

I have installed googleearth with portage, but when I start it I can the "Google earth" splash screen and nothing else.
Is it impossible to get 32bit OpenGL stuff to work with AMD64? only my Doom 3 has a similar problem, although I have lost my key code so there's little point in fixing that :-(

I seem to be having the same problem as you.
When I downgraded the version of fglrx to 8.33.6 it worked fine. Then I upgraded again and tried the old trick of copying the libGL.so from an old version of the drivers (8.33.6 in this case) to /opt/googleearth but the trick no longer works.
So when I run strace with fglrx verision 8.34.8 I get this

Code:
read(3, "\1\0\220\22\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 32) = 32

And the splash just sits there with googleearth using up 99% of one of my cpus.
I have no libCg.so anywhere on my computer and I also have all but the medialibs and java emul-linux-x86 packages installed.
So it looks like we will have to wait for google to fix what ati broke.

Edit: Fixed minor errors

Don't know why they can't release a 64 bit version, it's just a case of recompiling surely?
Any OpenGL stuff I have built myself work fine.

Hi all!

I just emerged x11-misc/googleearth-4.2.205.5730 and the program works like a charm, but the fonts are all messed up. Should I emerge any additional package for correct fonts?
