I only say this because it simply would not work for me until I got that working first. My experience is that Google Earth is fine, your graphics card is probably not setup right. This hunch is supported by the fact that glxinfo produces the same results as Google Earth for you. What type of graphics card do you have? (/sbin/lspci) -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat. com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list 3D is used only if available: on my computers, one is using nv (that has no 3D capabilities) and work, the other one uses intel as driver (no 3D) and GE kills session. No explanation for me.
