Comment 6 for bug 186764

On my system (kubuntu 7.10 with an Radeon 9800 PRO using the open source ati driver) GoogleEarth reports "do_wait: drmWaitVBlank returned -1, IRQs don't seem to be working correctly.
Try running with LIBGL_THROTTLE_REFRESH and LIBL_SYNC_REFRESH unset."

xrandr --verbose tells me:
