I just tried the latest GoogleEarth 4.3.7204.0836 (beta) with the latest
kernel and nVidia drivers, and the result was:

        $ googleearth 
        Error: API mismatch: the NVIDIA kernel module has version
        173.14.05,
        but this NVIDIA driver component has version 169.04.  Please
        make
        sure that the kernel module and all NVIDIA driver components
        have the same version.
        NVIDIA: Direct rendering failed; attempting indirect rendering.

And the screen opens, but no earth or controls show.

Anybody have any idea what's up with that?  TIA.

        $ rpm -q kernel
        kernel-2.6.24.7-92.fc8.x86_64
        kernel-2.6.25.4-10.fc8.x86_64
        $ rpm -qa \*nvidia\*
