For people who have nvidia graphics cards, the easiest way is to install kmod-nvidia from ELRepo [1]. Just make sure you install the 32-bit drv package. So, you will need: kmod-nvidia nvidia-x11-drv nvidia-x11-drv-32bit <== this is the key By the way, I installed libmodplug from rpmforge: libmodplug-0.8.7-1.el6.rf.x86_64 Google Earth is working on my SL x86_64 desktop. :-) Akemi [1] http://elrepo.org/tiki/kmod-nvidia
