sh ati-driver-installer-11-8-x86.x86_64.run --keep --buildpkg Mandriva/2010.2

Then in the resulting subdirectory, I found...

google-earth segfaults now, 11.6 ran fine. I've submitted a bug with ATI.

Well to celebrate BOTH virtualbox 4.0 AND Mandriva 2010.2, I managed to build virtualbox-4.0.0-OSE rpms from source THEN proceeded to try to install Mandriva 2010.2 on a VB machine!

Get something like a 5670, this is my card (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150466)

Then get a DVI to VGA converter, I have this...

The 3-D building click in googleearth is fixed too.
