So stick app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-xlib into /etc/portage/package.keywords as you did w/ googleearth (or install ati-drivers) and it won't pull in nvidia. When unmasking ebuilds, you need to take care of the dependencies as well. BTW, broken emul-linux-x86-xlib-7.0-r1 is Bug 136944, unrelated to this. Thanks Jakub - emerging ati-drivers seems to have worked fine. NOTE: I am not actually USING ati-drivers - I just have it emerged - so this seems a bit strange to have to add these things to the system when they do ot seem to be required to actually make googleearth work. NOTE 2: I already had other emulation libraries installed. I guess the 7.0 version must support new stuff that folks feel it required? I wouldn't have known how to figure that out on my own. (I'm not a programmer) None the less, thanks for the pointers. Very helpful. You don't need the ati-drivers, the ebuild can use nvidia-glx or the emul-libs as well. Unfortunately emul-linux-x86-xlib-7.0-r1 is missing files on mirrors right now, so I think ati-drivers is the best workaround until it's fixed. Closing, thanks. Thanks. That clarifies things nicely.
