Hi
I also played around with googleearth a long time and found the following
solution.
I use amd64
xorg-server-1.5.3-r5
xf86-video-ati-6.11.0
googleearth-5.0.11337.1968_beta
gentoo-sources-2.6.28-r3
I didn't get older versions of googleearth to run, they crash at startup.
There are two important configuration options.
The first ist with driconf gui
Disable Low-impact fallback yes
and the second is in xorg.conf
without this option everything is flickering when I move the mouse
Section "ServerFlags"
Option GlxVisuals" "all"
EndSection
Hope this can help you
If you need more config options just mail me
Günter
