Quick thought . I am running the nouveau driver not the Nvidia i have tried to install lib32-nvidia-utils but got the report below do i take it that i need to install the full Nvidia binary ( i do not mind installing it BTW) but thought i would give the nouveau a try out as the last time i tried it Opensuse it was horrible 7-of-9:/ # pacman -S lib32-nvidia-utils resolving dependencies... looking for inter-conflicts... :: nvidia-utils and libgl are in conflict. Remove libgl? [y/N] error: unresolvable package conflicts detected error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies) :: nvidia-utils and libgl are in conflict Pete

You can't have 2 differend drivers in use (unless they use differend kernel module..) at the same time. Its eather nouveau in 64bit and in 32bit apps too, or nvidia blob on both archs... Hi Yes iam fully aware of that but basically my question was i am at the moment running the nouveau do i need to switch to the Nvidia Binary driver to get Google earth to behave or can i tell pacman to deinstall the libgl and install the nvidia-utils (or are the nvidia-utils for the Nvidia binary driver in which casse the answer is pre determined)

nvidia-utils is the user space part of Nvidia's binary blob nvidia pkg provides the kernel module....

Ok .. So all i got to do now is determine whether i need to switch to the Nvidia binary or stay with the nouveau to get google earth working Pete .

install lib32-nouveau-dri then

Pete, If that doesn't fix it, then install the binaries: # pacman -Sy nvidia nvidia-utils (if you installed the LTS kernel, the also install 'nvidia-lts') I've run the binaries for a couple of years without issue :) Biru also packages opencl-nvidia for development. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
