I am confused.. that's just the solution! Hours of trying, searching and 
praying to get it working, and just a simple check placing in a 
checkbox, and it works. I have seen the 3D acceleration option before, 
but as long as my system worked like I wanted it to, I didn't enable it. 
If it ain't broken..

Well, it just works.. Google Earth starts, and I can finally look around 
the world in Linux, without the crappy web interface from Google Maps. 
Thank you very, very much!!
