Howdy, |

The other week I unmasked the nvidia beta drivers, then unmasked |
| 4 |
X 7.1. Well and good. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
Until I tried to run google earth. This was a first for me. Totally |
| 7 |
unresponsive |
| 8 |
system, spawning ksysguard processes about every other second. Couldn't |
| 9 |
ctrl-alt-Fn, couldn't keep the focus in a konsole long enough to do |
| 10 |
anything. |
| 11 |
Finally had to power down. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
After powering back up and killing a ton of ksysguard processes, examined |
| 14 |
the googleearth ebuild. It looks like it uses a provided installer. My |
| 15 |
guess |
| 16 |
is the installer senses the environment and sets configuration options. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
Re-emerging googleearth solved the main issue. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
The ebuld looks like it has a dependency on the version of X and |
| 21 |
nvidia-drivers. |
| 22 |
Not sure why my system didn't require a rebuild when I upgraded X. YMMV. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Still have a side-effect where the ksysguard applet can not connect to the |
| 25 |
localhost. |

HTH, |
