[Chromium-users] GoogleEarth display with Chromium

[Yusuke T. <yus...@ai...>]

Hello,

I am trying to use Chromium to display GoogleEarth on a 2x3
tiled display.  Though I can run the GoogleEarth but the image
is a kind of terribly jagged or zig-zag outline.

I met the same problem when I tried glplanet with chromium
v1.7 but glplanet with chromium 1.8 (Rocks viz) doesn't have
the problem anymore.  The GoogleEarth still has the problem
even with chromium v.1.9.

Each node runs CentOS 4.2 and each screen is 1600x1200.
I am not sure if my chromium is configured well.  I attach
autodmx.conf which I am using.

Does anyone have any idea or have any experiences to run
the GoogleEarth with Chromium?  Any comments will be
greatly appreciated.

Best regards,

What image are we talking about? Is the jagged zig-zag outline around
the entire output window for GoogleEarth, or is it around each
monitor?

Thank you for your time,

Not entire output.  The view panel which shows the earth is jagged.
The left panel and  navigation panel in the Google Earth window are fine.

I think I tried this a while back.  I recall having to put an 'array' 
SPU in front of the 'tilesort' SPU.

I was able to get that working fairly well, the problem is getting a  
custom view size in Google Earth to match the resolution of a tiled  
chromium application.   Does anyone know of a hack to set  
GoogleEarths view size to something resembling a TWD's resolution?   
640x480 isn't cutting it ;-)

I'd guess it's a bug in the tilesort SPU.  Maybe related to texture 
level of detail bias.

I don't have time to investigate, sorry.

Thanks for your reply.  I will keep watching this issue and let you
