Installed astro/google-earth from ports, installed and starts without issues but the viewing window is just black.

linux_base-fc4 installed.

Here's what is looks like in case I wasn't clear

Hmmm... What video card do you have, and is 3D acceleration working for other linux applications?

GeForce 7600 GT. This is the only linux app I have installed (apart from linux-gtk, linux-expat etc etc..) so I'm not sure.

All I can tell you is that it *used* to work, same computer, about 6 months ago.
 
Assuming your drivers are OK, all I can really suggest is removing your ~/.googleearth directory and trying again.

Hmmm I'll need to track RELENG_8 to install that no?

no, i installed it on RELENG_7 months ago without any problems, you just need this in /etc/make.conf...

Code: 
OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT=       f8
OVERRIDE_LINUX_NONBASE_PORTS=   f8

...and this in /etc/sysctl.conf

Code: 
compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.16
