Thanks for the qquick reply, Chris. I'm using the Vesa driver. Should
I switch to Radeon?

Hi, I have in my desktop PC

Pentium IV 3 GHz, 1 Gig RAM and an ATI Radeon X300 with 128 Mbytes
Running Debian Etch and the last version of googleearth, and had the
same problem you have.

I went to the link provided on the dialog box that says you are
running in emulation mode, and downloade the ATI driver, now it really
runs fast! i was using VESA also, and did not work
