Google Earth and nVidia

I just tried the latest GoogleEarth 4.3.7204.0836 (beta) with the latest
kernel and nVidia drivers, and the result was:

$ googleearth
Error: API mismatch: the NVIDIA kernel module has version
173.14.05,
but this NVIDIA driver component has version 169.04. Please
make
sure that the kernel module and all NVIDIA driver components
have the same version.
NVIDIA: Direct rendering failed; attempting indirect rendering.

And the screen opens, but no earth or controls show.

Anybody have any idea what's up with that? TIA.

$ rpm -q kernel
kernel-2.6.24.7-92.fc8.x86_64
kernel-2.6.25.4-10.fc8.x86_64
$ rpm -qa \*nvidia\*
