wow - unexpected things happening here after hibernating again and this time putting the nomodeset boot option on the kernel command line again googleearth is working again...
the earth are in the application it's flickering a little bit when i move it over or hide it below other windows but that's no problem at all. when it's minimized the flickering stops and i can use other ass on the same desktop. when it's in the foreground and not mooved the application behaves as expected - "works like a charm" (tm) - the earth is spinning at enormous speed :-) glxinfo reports still the same, xorg.0.log is has not changed, nothing has changed except the graphics card initialization, i guess but how can googleearth be possibly "finding this out" ? the "googleearth was not started in 'DirectX' mode message doesn't appear any more. (so now "compiz works with dri1 as well but googleearth (wine?) requires that the graphics card initialisation is not messed with when using dri1 and doesn't work with dri2" - or something like that ... :-)) -- OpenGL graphic errors in google earth https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/570879 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is the registrant for xserver-xorg-driver-ati. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
