Christoph, it seems that you are using the radeon driver and not radeonhd so if you get the same crash it is most likely a bug in the mesa driver which is used in both cases. The warning seen is definitely from mesa, but I am not sure if it is related to the crash.
Can either of you try to get a backtrace (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash)? ** Package changed: xserver-xorg-video-radeonhd (Ubuntu) => mesa (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: mesa (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete ** Summary changed: - Google Earth crash with Ubuntu 9.10 open source 3D Drivers ATI + [r300] Google Earth crashes on R580 -- [r300] Google Earth crashes on R580 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/459153 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
