    Graphics Driver Issues

    Ok... big story...
    I installed google earth successfully, but when I started the program, it could not locate my graphics driver.
    Now, Up to this point, my graphics driver was working fine.
    After running google earth, my computer then lost it's graphics capabilities and no longer can I enable the Normal or Extra Visual Effects, view screen savers, or play 3D games!

    is there a way I can fix this?
    Please help ASAP

    Which Graphics Card do have and which version of Ubuntu are you using?
    Have you upgraded kernel recently?

    Execute this
    Code:
    sudo lspci | grep -i vga
grep -i driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf
    Post output here.
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.
