Google Earth vient de publier sa toute nouvelle
version 4 (beta)

qui me semble une très bonne chose (ils ont compris
que de plus en plus de gens utilisent Linux).
Despite the joy this Linux support by Google merits, let's remind
people that this is beta software.
I did test on my laptop, which runs Kubuntu 6.06 and features an
ATI Mobility Radeon 9000 with the ati driver (not the proprietary
one).
The result was less than satisfying for me: going fullscreen during
an animation, I had quite some pixel garbage on the screen, and after
just a bit more playing, my X session just froze - access via ssh
stayed possible, but I ended up having to reboot, with no chance of
restarting the X session (kills didn't work out).
A colleague in the office also had trouble on his laptop, while his
desktop worked well enough (don't know which graphics hardware is in
there).
I'll try again @home on my desktop (Debian testing, NVidia card and
proprietary driver).
Maybe we could list which combinations of graphics adapters and drivers
work well?
Greetings, Eric
