Hi, I used googleearth on my x86 machine without problems but on my Turion Laptop all I get is the splash screen and a high CPU usage. Emerge is without any troubles. I also tried the bin installation offerd by google itself with same result. setup: * AMD Turion * ati-driver 8.28.8 * xorg 7.0-r1 * googleearth 4_beta
Ask Google, sorry be we can't fix binary-only stuff.
Try downgrading your ati-drivers to version 8.27.10-r1, it solved the problems in this case: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=147309
