I've updated to Feisty. Now google earth is totally unusable, even worse than dapper. drmWaitVBlank still happens and playing a movie doesn't helps (see post above). But I've found two interesting threads in Xorg mail list:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2006-December/020230.html and http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2006-November/019490.html which point to a forum with a proposed patch: http://www.spinics.net/lists/xorg/msg17472.html -- Google earth very slow on i915 https://launchpad.net/bugs/71364 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
