I've able to install kmod-nvidia-96xx driver on FC7 64bit on my colleague's workstation and he was able to install beryl and it works great. He's using an on-board video card 6-series Nvidia Chipset.The exact motherboard model is ASROCK ALIVE NF6G-VSTA. Haven't tried it on Google-earth but we'll try.
Here's the link for the installation procedure on F7 Nvidia/ATI driver: http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-Install-Video-Drivers-on-Fedora-7-59919.shtml Hope this helps.
