I have tested Google Earth on much older laptop; IBM R52 with Intel 915GM on Fedora 11 and there are no issues. I haven't tried using Fedora 12 on IBM R52 with Intel 915GM. How to make this work on Fedora 12 with Intel 945 graphics chip? Any way to troubleshoot this and provide more info? Please attach your X server config file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf, if available), output of the dmesg command, and X server log file (/var/log/Xorg.*.log) to the bug report as individual uncompressed file attachments using the bugzilla file attachment link above. We will look at it when possible, but I am afraid Google Earth is not that high on the list of issue we need to resolve. Thanks for filing the bug Created attachment 377393 [details]

Hi Matej, I hope you didn't misunderstand me. I'm not expecting you to fix any google earth bug, and I don't believe this is a google earth bug but a bug in 3D part of intel driver. It currently is most visible in google earth but potentially could make a mess in other 3D apps. Can I help in any way further? (In reply to comment #6) > I hope you didn't misunderstand me.

Of course, I haven't misunderstood you, just that we are (unfortunately) full of issues, when users don't have any Xorg at all. So, dealing with any particular 3D application not working (be it open source or closed source) is not the highest priority issue ATM. > Can I help in any way further? We'll let you know. I know that this bug is not top on your priority list, but it will sooner or later come back and bite you in some other application, surely this is not isolated only to Google Earth. I suggest you use me as really motivated tester to get this issue tracked down and hopefully fixed. There are several bug reports on the Google Earth issue tracker relating to inoperability on Fedora 12. http://code.google.com/p/earth-issues/issues/detail?id=566&q=Fedora%2012&colspec=ID%20Type%20Summary%20Status%20Owner%20Stars http://code.google.com/p/earth-issues/issues/detail?id=574&q=Fedora%2012&colspec=ID%20Type%20Summary%20Status%20Owner%20Stars http://code.google.com/p/earth-issues/issues/detail?id=613&q=Fedora%2012&colspec=ID%20Type%20Summary%20Status%20Owner%20Stars http://code.google.com/p/earth-issues/issues/detail?id=623&q=Fedora%2012&colspec=ID%20Type%20Summary%20Status%20Owner%20Stars I experience this one: http://code.google.com/p/earth-issues/issues/detail?id=635&q=Fedora%2012&colspec=ID%20Type%20Summary%20Status%20Owner%20Stars This one is related to selinux. http://code.google.com/p/earth-issues/issues/detail?id=624&q=Fedora%2012&colspec=ID%20Type%20Summary%20Status%20Owner%20Stars Google Earth works fine on Fedora 11. On Fedora 12, it is a bust. I have tested Google Earth on another intel based laptop, here is it's smolt profile: http://www.smolts.org/client/show/pub_740e23fd-c9c6-42e3-a59c-3c97b7fe382d This HP nx7300 laptop has Intel 945GM graphic card, and even if it doesn't repport "Clamped Plygons Not Suppoerte" issue the issue is the same - it just freaks it there are any vectors/polygons like borders or other objects in Google Earth. I'm attaching screenshots so you see it for yourself. Created attachment 385512 [details]

Vectors of roads in Google Earth make a visual mess ot things...
So this looks more and more like a bug in some new code in Fedora 12 intel driver in the kernel? Is there a way I can load old intel driver from Fedora 11 in my current Fedora 12 to test this idea and see if Google Earth works ok with Fedora 11 kernel? I have also reported this issue also there: http://code.google.com/p/earth-issues/issues/detail?id=639 There is a workaround, just enable software OpenGL rendering for Google Earth via this command: "LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 googleearth" There were just bunch of updates, mesa packages were also updated, and it seams that Google Earth works on, atleast on HP Mini 5101, I'll check also on other laptops and report back. This is fixed. |
