googleearth and kernel 3.15.1 problem?

yfi

undated kernel and kde on this laptop today, afterwards,
google-earth-stable-7.1.2.2041-0_x86_64.rpm failed to start

google-earth-stable-7.1.2.2041-0_i386.rpm installed and ran ok
but without photo's or 360°

configuration
Host: hp-g7-2248sg.laptop3 Kernel: 3.14.4-1.gbebeb6f-desktop x86_64 (64 bit)
Desktop: KDE 4.13.1 Distro: openSUSE 13.1 (Bottle)

after removal of proprietary driver,
google-earth-stable-7.1.2.2041-0_x86_64.rpm installed and ran ok
but without photo's or 360°

after changes per ge7.1.1.1580-0.x86_64-new-qt-libs-openSUSE-12-3.txz,
photo's available but no 360°

configuration

has anyone else noticed similar behaviour? is there a quick fix?

proprietary driver installed due to better graphics for tv viewing and lower
cpu temperatures

NB. no problems seen after similar sw update on PC's with radeon drivers
