FWIW, it hasn't worked for me since the star viewing stuff came along. Looking
at strace it always hangs in the same place:
there are a few thousand of:
futex(0x8e1a714, FUTEX_WAKE, 1) = 0
then about 20 or so (with different libraries):
open("./tls/i686/sse2/libCg.so", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or
directory)
then another 100 or so :
futex(0x8e1a714, FUTEX_WAKE, 1) = 0
before hanging here:
ioctl(7, 0x4008642a, 0xbfe1d49c) = 0
ioctl(7, 0xc00c645c <unfinished ...>
The full strace is absolutly huge, but you can find it at
http://benl.co.uk/files/googleearth.strace .
Doubt its of any help though, since both it and fglrx are closed source :(.
