 Posted: Sun Mar 18, 2007 5:17 am Post subject: Google Earth with XGL/Beryl and ATI fglrx drivers |
 |
|
I can't get google earth to work on my system under XGL and Beryl. I have a Macbook pro with a Radeon Mobility x1600. I have to use XGL instead of AIGLX because the Macbook pro's Radeon Mobility x1600 isn't supported by the open source radeon driver and AIGLX doesn't work with the closed source ati-driver.
Anyway, I get the following error when I try to start google earth:
| Code: |
$ googleearth
Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
|
I understand that there's something you have to do make 3D programs run under XGL. Also, I know that the closed source ATI drivers do something different with DRI. However, I haven't been able to find an understandable explanation of how this works. I'm not sure if my problem is with XGL or with fglrx. Is it possible to run google earth under XGL? Can anyone shed some light on how XGL, fglrx, and DRI are supposed to work?

I believe Google-earth uses opengl for the display, and the ATI drivers do not support composite and DRI at the same time: hence those errors you are receiving.

I can start and use Googleearth under xgl, but it is quite unstable (X crashes sometimes) and not very fluid. With Beryl-0.2.0, it is more stable.
But despite XGL, Ati-drivers has a bug with Googleearth. In order to make it work, you have to get libGL.so.1 from a precedent version of ati-drivers and put it in /opt/googleearth/.
