Actually installing xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.i686 is the second thing you have to do to get google-earth to display properly. First is to remove /etc/fonts/conf.d/65-fonts-persian.conf otherwise google-earth crashes on startup. (Figure that out!) Now google-earth is running properly for root and guest, but not for jonrysh. Weird. BTW: google-earth is google-earth-stable-7.0.2.8415-0.x86_64 which I forgot to put in the original posting. jon -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
