If Nvidia drivers are installed and google-earth will be tried to start the following error messages occur:

---8<----8<---
P6815:/home/blah # google-earth 
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".

Google Earth has caught signal 11.

We apologize for the inconvenience, but Google Earth has crashed.
This is a bug in the program, and should never happen under normal
circumstances. A bug report and debugging data have been written
to this text file:

This behavior is well known. A workaround is to deinstall Nvidia driver and install nouveau driver.

However I think this is a bug in the used NVidia driver package somewhere here inside:
ftp://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/12.2/i586/nvidia-gfxG02-kmp-desktop-304.43_k3.4.6_2.10-19.1.i586.rpm
ftp://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/12.2/i586/nvidia-computeG02-304.43-20.1.i586.rpm
ftp://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/12.2/i586/x11-video-nvidiaG02-304.43-20.1.i586.rpm



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. try to start google-earth on a system with Nvidia driver installed
2. google-earth won't start up, but an error message follows
3.
