Hi,
I'm trying to use Google Earth. Every time I run it I get the following
message:
You are currently running Google Earth in 'OpenGL' with software
emulation. In this mode, Google Earth will work but it will run very
slowly. If you want to run Google Earth more quickly we suggest that you
upgrade your graphics card driver. We only recommend this if you are
comfortable doing software upgrades...
I have a Mobile Intel 945GM Express Chipset. I checked on the intel
website and found this page:
http://www.intellinuxgraphics.org/download.html
I don't understand all that's involved here, so I'm a bit reluctant to
move forward without any advice.
Questions:
How do I find out what drivers are currently on my system?
(Debian Etch)
Is it possible to upgrade my drivers with aptitude? Can I get newer ones
from Sid?
If I can't upgrade from the reps, which driver do I need from Intel? The
Mesa 3D GL?
The Intel site mentions a quick-start kit, which apparently includes
pre-built drivers for Debian, but it requires you fill out a survey
before you can download them. I filled out the survey, but the "Finish"
button doesn't respond so I can't proceed with the download.
Any advice on how to proceed would be great!
Thanks,
Tyle
