In both the distros Google Earth crashes in my Intel 845 mobo with a requirement for a forced restart. In Fedora12, the display goes not get garbled, it simply freezes. However Google earth works fine in my Acer Laptop with 915 chipset and Lenny. However due to its 256 MB RAM, its painfully slow.
Afaik googlearth requires atleast 2D acceleration and hughe amounts of ram. So i845 boards wont work anyway. A reasonable comparison would be to test GE on doze, then linux on a 845.
Google Earth installed fine in my Doze partition and works well.
