Google Earth is now available for Linux at http://earth.google.com.
I tried it on my Sid system and found (so far) two problems: -- when the programs starts, it complains it cannot find the Bitstream Vera Sans font, although I have it installed. -- the display behaves weirdly. This is difficult to describe, but the "earth" image does not stay put in its proper place inside the window; it often "jumps" to the left, becoming invisible, or sometimes half-obscured by the left edge of the window. Sometimes resizing the window will put the earth image back in its place. I'm using a Radeon 9200 SE with the Linux (open-source) DRI drivers (have to, because ATI does not seem to have a proprietary driver for xorg 7.0). The openGL stuff seems to work (at least, ppracer works OK; glxinfo says "direct rendering yes"). Any suggestions?
