Google Earth has this issue with many non-proprietary (open source)
drivers. You may need to use a closed source NVidia or AMD driver to
get it to work.

I just tried installing Google Earth on my latest Slackware project,
on my Jetway machine.
The SlackBuild completed with one warning:
WARNING: zero length file opt/google/earth/pro/kh56
Since it was "just" a warning I went ahead and ran Installpkg
/tmp/google-earth-7.3.2.5495-x86_64-1_SBo.tgz
The install completed without complaint.
I ran it from the Applications menu (Xfce) and got the same screen as
the last time I tried on one of my other machines. The splash screen
appears, then the text part of the GE window appears and fills in.
Then a small box appears in the space provided for the graphical
display. This box contains a star field in motion for a few seconds.
The splash screen never goes away. If someone is interested in seeing
it, I have a screenshot I can send off list.
When I closed it I got the keyring request.
Any other ideas?
