Hi Guys,

This about killed me but I finally figured it out:

google-earth-stable-6.0.3.2197-0.x86_64.rpm is not a pure 64 bit
application.  It is mixing 32 bit and 64 bit video drives.

Installing the 32 driver for x86_64 (not the true 32 bit driver)
fixed the problem

# rpm -qa \*nvidia\*
kmod-nvidia-280.13-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64
nvidia-x11-drv-280.13-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64
nvidia-x11-drv-32bit-280.13-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64

The nvidia-x11-drv-32bit package was what fixed the problem.

Got my RPMs from pbone.net and 
http://elrepo.org/linux/testing/el6/x86_64/RPMS/

Now I can go look for fishing holes again.  Thanks to everyone
who helped me with this.

-T
