I just removed Google Earth and reinstalled it, and when I run 'nohup
googleearth &', X crashes, and nohup.out is empty. When I do the
libGL-trick, as I described in my first message, nohup.out contains the
exact same message as I attached in the first mail.

I think it has something to do with my graphics card, but I'm not really
sure. My system is a HP Compaq nc6220 notebook, with an Intel 915M
chipset. Although, thats what lspci tells me:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile
915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller (rev 03)
I have absolutely no idea if it is some driver problem, I just installed
a newer kernel (2.6.22.16-SL103_BRANCH_20080123142852-default), but
nothing changes.

Thanks in advance,

Do you have 3D support enabled?
You can see more in:

I am confused.. that's just the solution! Hours of trying, searching and praying to get it working, and just a simple check placing in a checkbox, and it works. I have seen the 3D acceleration option before, but as long as my system worked like I wanted it to, I didn't enable it. If it ain't broken..

Well, it just works.. Google Earth starts, and I can finally look around the world in Linux, without the crappy web interface from Google Maps. Thank you very, very much!!
