Hi

I just installed googleearth v4.3 but it is barely usable since the
window flickers all the time.

What settings can I adjust to avoid this?

It sounds like you don't have 3-D acceleration enabled (for NVIDIA and
ATI graphics cards you need the restricted drivers).

Hi

3D accel is installed since compiz-fusion works very well on my system.

If it's not your 3D drivers, perhaps you have the settings in googearth set
too high? Also, try to run it from a konsole, maybe there will be some info
displayed that will help you.

You can also check the logs in:
~/.xsession-errors
and
/var/log/Xorg.* (there are a few files)
