If you seriously need GoogleEarth (or any 3D functionality) I strongly 
recommend trying the nvidia driver (but don't install the official one, I use 
the livna rpms which have some additional nice features, such as being much 
easier to remove, and you are also if you want able to have one kernel with 
nv, another with nvidia).
