googleearth X nvidia broken ?
Is it possible newest googleearth is broken on amd64/nvidia ?
At least the 'flight control'. It's sucking 80% CPU1 + 50% CPU2 even minutes
after the last user action. Nearly no keyboard or menu response, in this situation.
It also doesn't update the 3D terrain details, then. It seems to relief when it doesn't
need to render 3d polygons (for example, 'looking down') which hints at GL.
Only sometimes after launch, it works fast and smooth as usual.
Anybody experiencing the same ?
It's a standard system: Nvidia GeForce7300GT 256M, AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+, 2G Ram. Debian unstable, kernel 2.6.22-rc5 from kernel-archive.
Running make-googleearth-package --force, and dpkg -i --force-architecture,
installed Google Earth 4.1.7076.4458 (beta), Build Date May 6 2007,
Build Time 11:10:05, Renderer OpenGL, Operating System Linux (2.6.22.0)

... didn't prevent the installation. I should mention that with this kernel i had to build the
nvidia module with m-a manually, and it works flawless (nvidia-settings, xscreensaver-gl.)
Honestly flight-control is the only thing that makes me use g.E.
