Public bug reported: Binary package hint: googleearth-package
Ever since I got my new computer back in July, I've been having a problem with Google Earth's display being... incorrect. I'm filing this here and not with Google because I think this is actually a problem in Xorg or somewhere else and not with Google Earth, since my old computer running the same version of Google Earth does not have this problem. I have a Toshiba P200-ST2061 with an Intel GM965 chipset and X3100 graphics. I'm running off the Hardy repos right now, though the problem existed under Gutsy as well. Basically, with Windows on this machine, Google Earth is completely smooth and the overlays function perfectly. Under Linux, the movement itself is somewhat choppy (not a major concern of mine, but see my note on it at the bottom) and the image and road overlays appear broken. Here are a pair of images to demonstrate my problem: This first one was taken on my old computer, and shows correctly. This is how the map shows under Windows as well as under other computers I've tried. http://data.quelorant.com/GE-correct.jpg And this is what I see on my machine. http://data.quelorant.com/GE-incorrect.jpg Though those images don't show it, when zoomed out more, some roads also take that broken appearance. Glxgears runs fine and glxinfo reports that direct rendering is functional, so I'm not sure why it's acting as it is. I'm going to attach glxinfo just in case it helps. Being that the motion is somewhat choppy, I wonder if that's also why OpenGL-based game Sauerbraten runs in a choppy manner at higher resolutions. I keep it at 1280x800 to run it semi-smoothly, above that it jerks around much as Google Earth seems to. ** Affects: googleearth-package (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Broken Image/Road Overlays on Google Earth https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/165117 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
