I just tried the latest GoogleEarth 4.3.7204.0836 (beta) with the latest kernel and nVidia drivers, and the result was: $ googleearth Error: API mismatch: the NVIDIA kernel module has version 173.14.05, but this NVIDIA driver component has version 169.04. Please make sure that the kernel module and all NVIDIA driver components have the same version. NVIDIA: Direct rendering failed; attempting indirect rendering. And the screen opens, but no earth or controls show. Anybody have any idea what's up with that? TIA. $ rpm -q kernel kernel-2.6.24.7-92.fc8.x86_64 kernel-2.6.25.4-10.fc8.x86_64 $ rpm -qa \*nvidia\* xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs-173.14.05-1.lvn8.x86_64 kmod-nvidia-173.14.05-2.lvn8.x86_64 kmod-nvidia-2.6.25.4-10.fc8-173.14.05-2.lvn8.x86_64 xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-173.14.05-1.lvn8.x86_64 kmod-nvidia-2.6.24.7-92.fc8-173.14.05-1.lvn8.x86_64 -- Matthew Saltzman Clemson University Math Sciences mjs AT clemson DOT edu http://www.math.clemson.edu/~mjs -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
