Hi,

The following solution might work for you, but only if you are using a Sketchup compatible video card. I heard that the best videocard for using Sketchup in Ubuntu is an Nvidia 8800 GTS. Intel and ATI videocards are problematic... Can you tell us exactly which type of videocard you are using?

I have an ATI RADEON XPRESS 200M Series Graphic Card, Is there anyway to get around this, I am using, or attempting to use it on a laptop, so upgrading is limited,
