If you have Google-earth was fast, I don't know another way to tell whether accellerated gl worked or not. > accellerated gl working for native executables but not for linux ones > you could try enabling AIGLX in your xserver and tell googleearth > to use that by setting LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1 in it's environment. > > And if you don't have accellerated gl working at all but are using > an ati HD3xxx or HD4xxx card you could try setting WITHOUT_NOUVEAU > in make.conf and rebuilding a few ports after that, see the 20100207 > entry in /usr/ports/UPDATING . Both laptops have an Nvidia card: Quadro FX 360M on the old i386 laptop and Quadro FX 2700M on the new amd64 laptop. Both are using nvidia-driver-256.53_1 and I have re-installed this video driver after installation/upgrade of linux-dri because of the libGL conflict (and rebooted the laptop to make sure that the correct kernel module is loaded). On both laptops, I get the main google-earth window, the Start Up Tip window and then I get "Memory fault", the wrapper script stops and 20 googleearth-bin are still running. Running google-earth on laptop #1 with $DISPLAY set to laptop #2 works and also vice versa, of couse it's quite slow this way. > HTH, > Juergen Thank you for your help. Paul Schenkeveld
