As of the most recent release, google earth still won't start with hardware acceleration with ATI's drivers. As best I can tell, it has something to do with something being incorrectly implemented in the drivers, not in Google Earth, or at least that's the impression I get from what I can see from poking around online. |

Well, google earth works fine here on my linux systems - with either nvidia or onboard intel 945G - so by process of elimination I suspect the ATI drivers, which are a well known source of various other issues for linux users. |

Was Google Earth one of those things they packaged with WINE for Linux, or no? |

Quoting: Was Google Earth one of those things they packaged with WINE for Linux, or no?Google Earth is a native linux app - OTOH that picasa thing is a wine app... |
