--- Comment #41 from AlexS jastark.work@gmail.com 2011-09-30 13:09:20 CDT --- By way of confirmation, the regedit / HW set to 1 worked on my 10.04 / Wine 1.2 / nv driver laptop, for SketchUp 8.0.4811 free version. I have had a crash, though.
I installed the NVidia drivers, but backed out b/c they didn't seem necessary, and they make screen switching pain (get in the way of my work / life).
I would recommend trying the regedit fix before changing drivers.
The app does indeed seem to go through the welcome process, including template selection, before requiring OpenGL (or whatever). While SketchUp might be "smart enough" to do this, it then makes a dogs dinner of the task of dealing with any problems that arise.
