iccaros Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 google has made beta 4 compatable for linuxI have found a problem with the ati card and google earth. if I use the fglrx driver I get segfaults, but if I use the xorg ATI driver it runs (slow as there is no openGL)the newest ATI driver does not work with the 2.6.16 kernel (ati changed the wrapper but not there binary so the wrapper in ati's driver compiles stuff that the binary part does not understand.. )ATI *** PI**C***E ** OF CR*P Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Carnevil Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 You're just figuring out ATI makes crap linux drivers? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Carnevil Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 I should also add that google earth is now in the FreeBSD ports collection. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

iccaros Posted June 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 updateI recompiled my Kernel to 2.6.16 R9 and recompiled the ati driver.. and Google Earth now works Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Carnevil Posted June 14, 2006 Report Share Posted June 14, 2006 Glad to hear you finally got the drivers working. ATI needs to get their s**t together, I don't know why they can't make good drivers like Nvidia. For all those who want to see google earth running on linux go here. http://www.osvids.com/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
