GE runs fine on my desktop system. In fact, the upgrade is awesome!  some really fantastic changes.  Hope the issue gets ironed out for the laptop.

I've been reading some discussions over at Google Groups about the latest Google Earth update.
There are lots of users from different distros facing problems with the new version.

Seems that once again Google has released a fine product for all of us Linux users  

I suggest we bring back version 6 to the repos for those who are facing problems with version 7 (at least until there is an update from Google).

i3.   All desktop effects work wonderfully.  Google Earth worked in the past.  Right up to this recent update.

GE runs fine on my desktop system.

Doesn't your GE-7.0.1.8244 (beta) have the same geographical problems as in this post

Would installing libxorg-x11 and/or xorg-x11 help? 

I ask because I found this post:
