This happens with some nvidia cards, and is absolutely an nvidia card or
driver problem.
I've seen this a bunch of times. I don't know of any fix.
Well, some good news for you: I have a machine that *never* worked with
google earth through several nvidia driver updates. However, after writing
my last message, I thought, "hmmm, I should try that again, since I haven't
updated the driver in the last month or two" ... and at least that one
machine *does* now work correctly, instead of getting a weird scattered
display.
For reference:
$ lspci | grep VGA
00:05.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation C51PV [GeForce 6150]
(rev a2)
$ apt-cache show nvidia-glx | grep Version
Version: 1.0.9746-2
So, 1.0.9746 at least works with this card. The immediately previous
released nvidia driver did not.
Have you tried the newer version 9755? I'm pretty sure the 6150 is also
supported with it, and it fixes a lot of bugs in the 9746 version. If
one is forced to use proprietary drivers, then I would suggest the
latest ones that support your hardware.
