How do you install Bin files?

My response was directed at the OP (jras20)

for you I would say you should install from the bin package as opposeds to medibuntu repositories and see if it works that way.
Though I doubt you will get good performance from such an old card.

My Graphics card is a ATI radeon express if that helps

Do you know which exact one?

This command in the terminal will tell you:

Code:

---

lspci | grep -i 'VGA'

01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RS485 [Radeon Xpress 1100 IGP]

Are you using the restricted drivers for your card?
Do you have compiz eye candy enabled? Try disabling it and starting google earth, I had to do that on my laptop (Xpress 200M) but it just rendered flickery before disabling compiz.

There is another thread on these forums relating to complete reboots.

Though hes running within a VM I assume that the problem may be related.
