Comment 21 for bug 295934

There were a lot more updates (44?), but I've only managed to get GoogleEarth to show the splash screen, then disappear. At least I don't have to see the globe attempt to spin-up ;-}

I think I have an interesting (to whom, I don't know) Xorg.0.log. Seems i915_dri.so can't be found or whatever. Seems to be fairly critical.

I want to thank abarrow for the help. He/she has so far talked me down from the ledge of wiping the disk and starting over (or not?).
