I also have a system using the PM96x, and Googleearth has the same troubles. However, I have a MSI laptop. In Kubuntu 8.04 without compiz, Googleearth worked fine. Kubuntu 8.04 + Compiz shows Googleearth with problems as the screenshot given by Biweek Kubuntu 8.10 + Compiz shows the same problems Kubuntu 8.10 (Kde 4.10) without compiz shows the same problems (I suspect plasma) Kubuntu 8.10 + https://edge.launchpad.net/~intel-gfx-testing/+archive gives the same problems.
OpenGL screen savers work properly. Curiously enough, the problems with Googleearth coincide with problems with the picture viewer XnView, see attachment: buttons are not painted, and the pane in which the picture is ordinarily displayed is transparant grey. -- apt-cache policy compiz compiz: Installed: (none) Candidate: 1:0.7.8-0ubuntu4.1 Version table: 1:0.7.8-0ubuntu4.1 0 500 http://ubuntu.tiscali.nl intrepid-updates/main Packages 1:0.7.8-0ubuntu4 0 500 http://ubuntu.tiscali.nl intrepid/main Packages -- kde4-config --version Qt: 4.4.3 KDE: 4.1.3 (KDE 4.1.3) kde4-config: 1.0 -- dpkg --get-selections | grep -i intel libdrm-intel1 install xserver-xorg-video-intel install -- lspci 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Mobile PM965/GM965/GL960 Memory Controller Hub (rev 03) 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) 00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) -- lspvi -vvnn | head 00:00.0 Host bridge [0600]: Intel Corporation Mobile PM965/GM965/GL960 Memory Co ntroller Hub [8086:2a00] (rev 03) Subsystem: Micro-Star International Co., Ltd.
