Public bug reported:
After upgrade to quantal, which I believe caused an upgrade in mesa from
8.x to 9.0, I can no longer use googleearth. Previously, it worked
pretty well using the mesa DRI driver. The only problems were that
borders sometimes showed through the earth from over the horizon, and it
was necessary to turn off the atmosphere display. After the upgrade,
from any altitude the surface of the globe appears as large rectangles,
sometimes with various more or less triangular shapes. See attached
screen shot.
I tried this first with both libgl1-mesa-dri and libgl1-mesa-dri-
experimental installed. I then removed libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental,
powered off and rebooted. It didn't make a difference.
My graphics card is:
NVIDIA Corporation NV18 [GeForce4 MX 4000]
