I have an nVidia GeForce4 440 Go in my laptop and I use the nv driver on Fedora Core 6, recently upgraded (fresh install) from FC5. With this combination, googleearth is slow as molasses. On FC5 it was maybe a bit slow, but still perfectly usable, but on FC6 it's totally unusable. I basically get complete screen redraws one after the other while googleearth is zooming (well, trying to zoom) around. What happened between FC5 and FC6 to cause this? Is there anything I can do to improve things? The version of googleearth is the same in both cases: Google Earth for GNU/Linux 4.0.2091. I have tried various binary drivers from nVidia, but they give even less joy: the latest beta (9626) gives me a completely black screen, even with the patch that nVidia provided. Version 7184 can be made to run, but then googleearth complains about GLX not being available (this is because the X server says that GLX and the Composite extension are not compatible). I forget what was the problem with 8776, but there was a problem there as well. -- Sjoerd Mullender
