Package: xorg
Version: 1:7.3+15
Severity: normal
Starting google-earth (v4.3.7284.3916, downloaded today) displays a splash
screen and then crashes X.
Graphics card is: 05:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV44
[GeForce 6200 LE] (rev a1)
It seems that something wanted to create a backtrace as the word "Backtrace:"
is the last thing
to be found in /var/log/Xorg.0.log, but that attempt seems to have failed.
I'm willing to investigate further if I get a little guidance.
Kind regards,
Thiemo Nagel

Thanks for the analysis!
Looks like this is fixed upstream by commit
d7db6dd1a15393e9a30acfe87f7651ca1c9a0d75. We should probably get that
patch in lenny.
Cheers,
