not sure I experience exactly the same bug, but I do think there are issues with radeon driver ...
I recently upgraded 8.10 to 9.04 on a Dell D610 ("lspci | grep VGA" says
"01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc M22 [Mobility Radeon X300]").
All was okay but googleearth (version 4.x and 5) freezes the screen about 15-20 seconds after they are run.
The screen sometimes goes blank or show various moving gradients ; the mouse and keyboard remains responsive and the system is still functioning behind the frozen screen : I can soft reboot by blindly hitting the right keystrokes.
I turned DRI off (option "NoDRI" on the device section) ; googleearth warned me about poor performances due to software-emulated OpenGL but it now *does* work.

But it is actually very very slow ...
