Not really. xorg-x11 requires ati-drivers only if you have fglrx in
VIDEO_CARDS (or video_cards_fglrx in use flags) and googlearth has a
dependency (on amd64) on any of the following:
# cat /usr/portage/x11-misc/googleearth/googleearth-4_beta.ebuild
[...]
RDEPEND=[...]
[...]
|| (
>=app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-xlibs-7.0
>=media-video/nvidia-glx-1.0.6629-r3
x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers
x11-drivers/nvidia-legacy-drivers
>=x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.8.25-r1 )
[...]
If *any* of those packages are installed the requirement is satisfied and it
won't pull in any others. If none are installed it will install the first on
the list (>=app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-xlibs-7.0). Hence it will never pull
ati-drivers in...
