[Bug 295934] Re: [i965GME] missing characters in Google Earth with DRI enabled

[ImChipBrown]

Crap.  I got this thing to work and I don't know how (exactly).

I followed the thread and at the very bottom I found:

aptitude remove xorg-driver-fglrx fglrx-control

I did that, rebooted, and no luck.  But, in the Xorg.0.log I noticed i915.dri.so failed  (no file?)
Did a search of my machine and found it in /dripkg/XOrg/i915


I had to make a /usr/lib/dri directory, then copy i915.dri.so into it

That got me further, with a complaint (in Xorg.0.log) about an undefined
pointer.

I started thinking about mesa, and went to Synaptic, found that libgl1
-mesa-dri was not (no longer?) selected, so I loaded it.

Rebooted and GoogleEarth started spinning the globe and disappeared.
Checked out a Screensaver or two (Flying Toasters, Gears, Lattice) and
they seemed to be better.

Tried clicking GoogleEarth once more, and up it comes in all it's glory!

So, you see, I really fumbled around and have no "recipe", but something
in this rant worked.

Thanks to abarrow.  Except, why did he publicly note:
Y(ou)M(ake)M(e)V(omit)  ?
