I have just run it on my laptop, F14, ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 using
the VESA driver in 1024x768 using the OpenGL renderer:

I haven't gotten the radeon driver working yet (it used to work on F12),
but I was able to "fly" to my house and zoom in on it, so, I have to
answer it works for me, but, I haven't installed the latest GoogleEarth
in a while....

Have you tried the VESA driver yet?  It has no hardware acceleration
support, but it should work with software rendering....
