I had this bug on Jaunty too, with the same graphics chipset as nicklondon28. It still happens on Karmic (same hardware, clean install). I can run GE by using xorg.conf.failsafe, which loads the "vesa" driver instead of the default "intel". It's slower, of course, but otherwise perfect.
Nostalgic note: Several Ubuntu versions ago, I used to get full acceleration using the "i810" driver. Unfortunately that driver was dropped and, although there are some posts out there describing how to install it, I haven't been able to get it working. -- Google Earth crashes computer on startup https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/368032 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
