I'm trying to get FC6/x86_64 to run google earth on two different systems. Neither one is usable.
system 1: a compaq v5000z: Google earth runs just fine under that Redmond OS, but under FC6 it uses software emulation and is unusably slow.
(--) PCI:*(1:5:0) ATI Technologies Inc ATI Radeon XPRESS 200M 5955 (PCIE) rev 0, Mem @ 0xc8000000/27, 0xc0100000/16, I/O @ 0x9000/8
system 2: amd64 desktop (tyan 2465 w. ATI x300):
(--) PCI: (1:5:0) ATI Technologies Inc Rage XL rev 39, Mem @ 0xfc000000/24, 0xfdfff000/12, I/O @ 0xac00/8 (--) PCI:*(5:0:0) ATI Technologies Inc RV370 5B60 [Radeon X300 (PCIE)] rev 0, Mem @ 0xd8000000/27, 0xfe3f0000/16, I/O @ 0x6c00/8 (--) PCI: (5:0:1) ATI Technologies Inc RV370 [Radeon X300SE] rev 0, Mem @ 0xfe3e0000/16
This second system emits some gripes and then runs at approximately 1 frame per second which is also unusable.
bash-3.1$ googleearth libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x4b *********************************WARN_ONCE********************************* File r300_render.c function r300Fallback line 428 Software fallback:ctx->Line.SmoothFlag *************************************************************************** Try R300_SPAN_DISABLE_LOCKING env var if this hangs. *********************************WARN_ONCE********************************* File r300_state.c function r300Enable line 513 TODO - double side stencil ! ***************************************************************************
Is there something I can do to get it to run faster? (Like turning off the opengl things it was griping about?)

I don't even remember exactly what the problem was, but with the radeon driver on my x86_64 system, I had to run driconf to get a ~/.drirc file generated, then change the disable_lowimpact_fallback option to "true", and suddenly googleearth was working very zippy.
I'll attach my .drirc file (assuming I can get attachments to work :-).

Thanks! That .drirc seems to have done the trick. Google earth is quite usable now. (After I finish playing, I'll have to try cranking out a native .drirc and see if it differs any.)
