[opensuse] Nvidia card is not recognised with GoogleEarth

Having some time on hand I decided to install GoogleEarth on my fully updated
11.3 machine. I had a working GoogleEarth on the 11.2 but as I seldom make use
of the 11.2 I thought it a good idea.
Download and install was without problems. Running it gave me an error
information. GoogleEarth did not recognize your graphics card. It make of
course
the showing of the earth and maps not possible.
I have a Nvidia Geoforce2 MX/MX400 for which I automatically got the following
files installed:
nvidia-gfxGO1-kmp-default
nvidia-settings
nvidia-texture-tools
vpau-video-nvidia
x11-video-nvidiaGO1

I tried to use nvidia-xconfig but this program makes a xorg.conf file after
which no X11 is able to run. The kernel seems to completely taken over my
nvidia
card.
Do not know why GoogleEarth does not find my video card. Should I try to use
nuvo? Any ideas?
