This is basically the same bug as 204755. The best solution imho seems to be to
at a multilib-useflag to the regular mesa- and libdrm-ebuilds, but the
Xorg-Team is unwilling to support this. But there are ebuilds attached to
204755 which build multilib mesa and libdrm.

Please, please, please update the mesa drivers and libraries in this package.

On ATI Xpress 200M cards, a very common laptop video card, the r300_dri.so
provided by this package crashes the *entire* system if you do anything even
remotely 3D.

For now I compiled my own version with multilib gcc and it works perfectly
well, but I prefer having stuff out of portage... even if it is a craptastic
mess of binary files rather than a nice multilib system as seen in bug #204755

If you want working googleearth, try multilib overlay. For more info connect to
#gentoo-multilib-overlay on freenode irc
