[LINUX_Newbies] LinuxMint 14 vs. Google Earth

 

Well, I'm satisfied that LinuxMint 14 will suit my needs, but I have run into a problem running Google Earth. It starts up okay, but all I see on the globe is political boundaries, roads/streets, etc. but no terrain (satellite imagery). I cannot find any intelligible help in the various forums, so I thought I would ask here.

What I get when I start Google Earth is an error message stating "DirectX mode not supported", and one of the suggestions is to download and install DirectX 9.0c, with no URL provided.

I don't want to download and install any Windows plugins unless I know they are appropriate for use with LinuxMint.
