I have:

none1 at pci1:0:0: class=0x030000 card=0x06021002 chip=0x5b601002 rev=0x00 
hdr=0x00
    vendor   = 'ATI Technologies Inc'
    device   = 'Radeon X300 Series'
    class    = display
    subclass = VGA
none2 at pci1:0:1: class=0x038000 card=0x06031002 chip=0x5b701002 rev=0x00 
hdr=0x00
    vendor   = 'ATI Technologies Inc'
    device   = 'Radeon X300 Series - Secondary'
    class    = display

I installed new linux_dri port, but google-earth doesn't want to use 
hardware acceleration.
How to make it use hw acceleration?

thanks,

Ganbold
