====== How to run Google Sketchup 7 on eeePC 901 with a Debian Lenny OS ? ======

<note warning>This tutorial makes possible to run Sketchup but it will crash when you will try to save a document... Any tricks are welcomed!</note>

We have to 
  - disabled DRI on Xorg
  - use a special version of Wine
  - install google sketchup 7

===== Disable DRI =====

  * Edit ''/etc/X11/xorg.conf'' and add this option in the  "Device" section: <code>
 Option "DRI" "False" 
</code>
  * Restart your ServerX

===== Install Wine 1.1.13 =====

  * Edit ''/etc/apt/sources.list'', add this line:<code>
# wine
deb http://www.lamaresh.net/apt lenny main
</code>
  * Then run these commands:<code>
apt-get remove libwine wine
sudo wget -O - http://www.lamaresh.net/apt/key.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
apt-get update
apt-get install wine
</code>

===== Install Google Sketchup 7 =====

  * Download the windows executable:<code>cd /tmp ; wget http://dl.google.com/sketchup/GoogleSketchUpWEN.exe</code>
  * Run the installer with Wine:<code>
wine /tmp/GoogleSketchUpWEN.exe
</code>
  * Run sketchup a first time but if it crashes, run:<code>wine regedit</code>
  * Edit these entries:
    * ''HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Google\SketchUp7\GLConfig\Display\''
      * change [''HW_OK''] to 1
      * [''FIRST_TIME''] = 0 (create dword value)
    * ''HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Google\SketchUp7\Preferences\''
      * change [''EnableCheckValidity''] to 0
   * Run again sketchup, it should be ok now.
