I usually install with the ".run" (180.27 x86-64 here) downloaded from
Nvidia, and the card is a Geforce 8600gt (kernel is 2.6.28.3).
I tested on a semi-old Compaq laptop with ati Radeon mobility U1 chip,
free radeon driver (direct rendering is on), under Ubuntu "Hardy"
(kernel 2.6.24*, x86, Gnome) and it works Ok even if a bit slow.
Maybe you're having a problem with direct rendering or OpenGL, your
video card should be overkill for GoogleEarth so I guess the problem is
with your xorg.conf, or a somehow broken Nvidia driver install. Do you
have the direct rendering on ?
