Hi, I'm trying to install Google Earth.
First I got the message "you should switch to openGL mode", so I went to the site of ATI and downloaded the automatic driver installer for my video card Radeon 9600. It edited the file /etc/X11/XF86Config-4.
Here it is:

Then I ran google earth again and got the following message :
Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
and the splash image just hangs.
What do I do?
Thanks
