Under gallium3d (R520) Google Earth shows breakup of the globe while redrawing/zooming. I did not have that under classic mesa.
Is this still an issue with current git?
I was using latest ppa for Gallium from xedgers. I will test later tonight with the latest ppa.
With today ppa the same effect is there. Simply, while redrawing the globe, redrawn sections goes black and then reappear. It looks like the Globe is broken into sections and some of it is redrawn, with black appearing between redraws.
Adding myself to the cc list.
It's highly possible that this is not a driver bug. You said you're running xedgers. Could you please try google earth again without ANY experimental packages, only with the gallium's radeong_dri.so (renamed to r300_dri.so)?
Also happens for me with Xorg-edgers with normal Mesa r600 driver on radeon 4770.
I guess, the best way to do it. Is to have a fresh install and then manually install the 300g driver. At this time, I can't do it.
Since the only people who have these issues are the ones running xorg-edgers, I came to the conclusion that this is not a mesa or driver bug. Furthermore, we do not and cannot support custom/experimental/unstable setups used for testing non-ATI unstable components. Those who want the best from r300g do not need xorg-edgers, they only need the latest kernel-rcX, libdrm from git, mesa from git, and xf86-video-ati from git. Nothing else. (this is my development setup) Closing as NOTOURBUG.
