I have F11 installed on my old laptop which has a radeon mobility 9600.
If I instal the vendor supplied latest driver (which has been relegated to
the legacy heap), and then I run googleEarth, the machine freezes up.
So, I have uninstalled it and am content with the driver supplied by Xorg.

It is not the fastest display driver - but at least it does not freeze up.

Cheers,

JD
