Sorry you ran into this problem, it's annoying when the X server crashes! However, this is a problem with the upstream program--and is a real danger with any binary-only, non-free, proprietary program; it doesn't really have anything to do with googleearth-package which only makes *packages* of the googleearth program. I am happy to fix bugs in the packaging, but any use of the packages is really at your own risk. My guess is that you do not have a supported video card, or not new enough binary drivers if you have e.g. an nvidia card. But if you continue to have problems with the software itself, googleearth-package isn't the right place to report it, just like you can't really file bugs against flashplugin-nonfree when it crashes your browser, since it's just an installer and can't do anything about it. Better is to go to Google Earth's online Linux support forums. -- Wesley J. Landaker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <xmpp:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> OpenPGP FP: 4135 2A3B 4726 ACC5 9094 0097 F0A9 8A4C 4CD6 E3D2
