Hi
I met the same problem : black screen in the Google-earth window instead 
of the globe map
We can't run nvidia-driver 'NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-310.32.run driver with 
nvidia-glx-ia32 package and we must not try to do it.
Then:
When building nvidia driver, I said YES to the question 'install 
nvidia's 32-bit compatibility Opengl libraries'.
1) You have to dowlnoad last googleearth version (7) available on google 
site
2) dpkg --add-architecture i386
3) install ia32-libs ia32-libs-gtk
4) install googleearth
It works for me (Wheezy)
