The driver version is old. Given it works with other graphics card manufacturers and other cards from nVidia it's most likely a driver problem. See if a new one is available for nVidia or whether they can provide one.

This might be related to

You're not using Ubuntu though...
Yet the SiS 630 and/or OpenGL might be a common factor here...

      #626501 - 10/05/06 09:10 AM

I'm running SUSE 10.1 and the latest Google Earth 4 Beta (10/5/2006). My video card is an NVIDIA Quadro (I think it's a 1400 model). Video drivers are x86-1.0-8774.

Similar problem on ATI XPRESS 200m on Ubuntu 6.06 [Re: lemmy98]
      #660535 - 10/27/06 07:32 AM

When I try to run Google Earth, it hangs on the splash screen, and does nothing,

Running it in a terminal produces the output:
Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".

Any ideas how to fix it?

I just updated to the latest beta driver from nVidia (9625), and the display is OK.

Matrox G400 on Ubuntu 6.06, default depth 16 [Re: whizzit]
      #660862 - 10/27/06 12:08 PM

Setting in xorg.conf the value "default depth 16"

Is the fix for my Matrox G400 video card in a Ubuntu system that I just upgraded to "6.06 LTS"

---------------------

My experience has been, Google Earth worked fine when I had Breezy Badger 5.05.
I upgraded to 6.06 LTS in September 2006 and immediately had a whole bunch of stuff break. The problem many people experienced is the xorg had to be pushed back to an earlier package.
---------------

Other packages were broken and in every case, some simple configuration was the problem.
------------------
For google earth, I repeatedly got the error "OpenGL" not supported.
I ran:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure xorg-xserver
In the past, selecting "vesa" driver resolved some apparent problems with getting OpenGL working.
The setting I never changed was "default depth 24".
----------------------
Well, changing that default depth value in xorg.conf immediately makes Google Earth run just fine.

I just installed Google Earth on Dapper Drake. I put it in /opt and the exported the XDG_DATA_HOME and DIRS variables after the error at the console.

I'm getting the same issue and my xorg driver info is:

(II) NVIDIA X Driver 1.0-8776 Mon Oct 16 21:58:46 PDT 2006

I think that's the latest. I've got an NVIDIA 6200 also.

So the problem is something else?

Intel Integrated i810 [Re: Bruno_Bowden]
      #682512 - 11/13/06 05:47 AM

I've got my graphicscard up and running.
direct rendering enabled and working (glxgears running at ~750 fps)

System is: Asus M5N-Notebook, Intel Integrated Graphics (i810), Debian 3.1, XFree 4.3.0.1


export LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose
glxinfo |grep direct

returns the following:

libGL: XF86DRIGetClientDriverName: 1.3.0 i830 (screen 0)
libGL: OpenDriver: trying /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri/i830_dri.so
libGL: XF86DRIGetClientDriverName: 1.3.0 i830 (screen 0)
drmOpenByBusid: busid is PCI:0:2:0
drmOpenDevice: minor is 0
drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0
drmOpenDevice: open result is 4, (OK)
drmOpenByBusid: drmOpenMinor returns 4
drmOpenByBusid: drmGetBusid reports PCI:0:2:0
direct rendering: Yes



part of my XF86Config-4:

Section "Device"
Identifier "internal_i810"
BusID "PCI:0:2:0"
Driver "i810"
Option "DisplayInfo" "FALSE"
VideoRam 32768
EndSection


GoogleEarth still refuses to work and says that my graphics-card is not supported or drivers are not correct installed.
Don't know what do do, because i know (from searching for solutions on google.com) that the i810 IS supported somehow.

Any ideas?!

greets
