Good Morning Everyone,
Here are the basic stats:
Arch x86_64 w/lib32's
Wine 1.7.11 with a WINEARCH=win32
Google Earth 7.1.2.2014
EVGA GTX-660 Graphics Card
Using the latest NVIdia drivers and the associated lib32 nvidia libs.
Google Earth installed just fine. It runs without errors. But the graphics window where normally a globe would be is a bunch of garbled data made up of bits and pieces of previously closed windows. No Globe.
I do not like the AUR version becuase I have consistently had so much trouble with it across many versions. Stability (lack thereof), certain features not available in the Linux version that are available in the Windows version, etc.
My experience tells me that the Linux version just isn't a high quality package and that Google provides it as a cursory afterthought.....That's just my opinion.
So historically, I have used Google Earth under wine with no issues.....
Until.....
Google Earth was updated to 7.1.2.1024.........Then the graphical window died.
Nuked my whole .wine directory and started over.....No better.
Under Arch, Google Earth has always been an achilles heel for me. And I'm not switching distros...so I need help beating Google Earth into submission!
Help would be appreciated,
Sincerely and respectfully,
Dave
<EDIT> I have tried both the OpenGL and the DirectX settings of GE, and have also tried both in "Safe Mode"...No change.....

There were some lib32 files I was missing.
I needed to install lib32-flashplugin....and it brought down a few lib32 dependencies for Xorg that I failed to install manually.
After I did this, Wine now works just fine and so does Google-Earth, and my CAD package.
FYI!

Why do you run Google Earth under Wine if it's available natively?
EDIT: Nevermind, didn't read the first post entirely.
