I am having problem with combination of Lucid 10.04 (upgraded from 9.10 via package manager) and googleearth (installed directly from google download). I'm a linux newbie... see info below.

Scenario
opened kml file and while zooming into a location I encountered err. Also experienced same problem without opening a kml file and just zoming into a camera icon on a map.

err message
"drmRadeonCmdBuffer: -12. Kernel failed to parse or rejected command stream. See dmesg for more info."

dmesg output contains numbers messages (of various values) similar to
evbug.c: Event. Dev: input5, Type:
