Hi, GoogleEarth is not running anymore.
If i start googleearth, an "Bus error" appears. Nothing more.
I am running openSUSE-10.3-64bit on a Thinkpad Z61p with fglrx-8.39.4, i had many other problems with 8.40, 8.41 and 8.42 (xv and opengl), 8.443 doesn't support my screen resolution (1920x1200) and 8.45 does not support my card (FireGL 5200, 256MB).

Something makes me suspect bad memory.
If you reboot, and run googleearth again, do you get the error at the same point in execution?
If not (either no crash, or crashes later), then to me, that would indicate that googleearth was loaded into RAM at a different location, and thus the error doesn't happen, or happens at a different point in the execution of the program.
If after a reboot, it crashes at the same place, then it rules out my theory.
Please help! Frank
