Graphics problems

[mackas21]

Hi, I'm new to Linux and I'm having a problem with my graphics.
For example while running Google Earth I get problems rendering the graphics, as shown in the attached pic.
My graphics work fine in XP on the same machine, any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Do you have compiz on or have you installed a driver for your graphic card, System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers?

I don't have compiz. My graphics hardware is mobile intel 965 express chipset family, but there are no drivers listed under Hardware Drivers other than my wireless LAN.

As far as I know, GoogleEarth requires you to have a graphic card and a driver that has 3D capable.
