I saw where one had trouble with this application so decided to get it

on the earth on my Desktop the screen will go blank and then come back up
in init 3. I would have re-login. This is not nice.
I reloaded it as root and it does the exact same thing :-)
Guess I better tell Google.
It may just blow the mind of your machine. It needs a fair bit of memory
and decent 3d support (OpenGL). It sounds like its crashing your X
server, which is arguably a bug in the X server, not google earth.
It's the only thing that has ever done this. I have 2 gig of RAM and
lots of hard drive space. The X-server is Nvidia and it might not like
what Google is asking for.
