What video card do you have?

My guess is that Google Earth doesn't support your video card, or you need 
to use a newer driver (e.g. if you have an nvidia card, you have to use the 
latest non-free binary drivers for your card).

Also, Google just released version 4.1 of Google Earth (you never know what 
version you've got until you download it, unfortunately); the latest 
googleearth-package (0.1.0) supports it. 

Anyway, if you still can't get it to work, you really need to complain to 
Google. Google Earth is cool, but super closed and non-free.
