When I start googleearth the X-server crashes with a signal 11.

Sorry but you'll have to complain to Google, not here.
(In reply to comment #3) > Sorry but you'll have to complain to Google, not here. > What should Google do about it? It probably works fine with other Xorg versions/drivers/distros. The main problem is that X crashes. No matter what googleearth does it should not crash! When I use Linux as desktop crashing X is the same as crashing the kernel: I loose everything I am doing and have to log in all over again. It is not acceptable that a faulty program can do that to me. Furthermore, X runs as root. So if a program running as an unpriviliged user can make it crash, one can probably also make X run arbitrary code. That is not acceptable.
I see a GL library in the X server backtrace. Can you run other OpenGL programs (e.g. glxgears) without causing an X server crash?

The work-around mentioned in http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=196791 enables me to run googleearth under the x11-xorg "radeon" driver (AMD x86_64). Previously I was getting exactly the same symptoms: x11 dying with sig11. I did the following: Saved the patch into /usr/portage/x11-misc/googleearth then: # patch googleearth-4.2.198.2451.ebuild googleearth-4.2.198.2451-r1.ebuild.patch # ebuild googleearth-4.2.198.2451.ebuild manifest # USE=fixati emerge -uv googleearth This puts an earlier version of libGL.so.1 into /opt/googleearth/ for googleearth (only) to use.
Just for the record: I have exactly the same problem, but on x86_64 and using the nvidia drivers (x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-100.14.19). Havent't tried the suggested workaround yet.
(In reply to comment #8) It works now again after an "eselect opengl set nvidia". Don't know why nvidia got deselected in the first place. Not that it should crash with xorg-x11 selected...
Same problem here with an Intel card (VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)) and the i810 driver. On another machine with an ATI Radeon 9200 card, the free radeon driver, and the same versions of xorg (latest stable, x11-base/xorg-server-1.3.0.0-r5), there's no problem.

Sorry for spamming, Necoro
Alright, it looks like this bug is fixed with newer versions of googleearth. If any of you still have issues with X/mesa drivers, please don't hesitate to open *new* bugs. Thanks
