Description Premysl Vohnout 2009-06-09 08:01:14 UTC 
when I want to run googleearth I get this error:
unknown chip id 0x7145, can't guess.                          
libGL warning: 3D driver returned no fbconfigs.               
libGL error: InitDriver failed                                
libGL error: reverting to (slow) indirect rendering  

I have ATI x1400 (r500). Using xf86-video-ati-6.12.2, xorg-server-1.5.3. Gentoo linux. glxgears and glxinfo is ok

Looks like you have an old 3d driver without r5xx support floating around.
Comment 2 Premysl Vohnout 2009-06-09 08:40:02 UTC 
I have mesa-7.5_rc3. Sorry that I don't mention this. This problem is from mesa-7.1.

mesa 7.1 didn't support r5xx chips.

I've tried 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, 7.5-rc1, 7.5-rc2 and now I have 7.5-rc3.

googleearth is trying to load an old 3D driver.  Search you system for r300_dri.so and make sure you don't have an old one floating around.
Comment 6 Michel Dänzer 2009-06-09 08:49:57 UTC 
Note that Google Earth is a 32 bit application.
Comment 7 Premysl Vohnout 2009-06-09 08:53:32 UTC 
ok that's the problem in /usr/lib64 is new r300_dri.so but in /usr/lib32 is old one

problem is that in gentoo are emulated libraries from 20081109
