It is probably libGL.so.1 designed for Ubuntu. You tried Google Earth in not so good moment. I had it running all the time, but xorg update from Jan 18th, broke few things, so Google Earth and screen saver started to break xorg (I guess 3D was in question). I have nvidia graphic card and solution was the latest driver from Nvidia driver 169.09 downloaded from ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/169.09/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-169.09-pkg1.run There was also another xorg update after Jan 18th, that might be fix, which I can't be sure without looking in change logs, as there were other xorg problems that needed fix. -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
