Chris pointed out that this is on Sparc, so no nice nvidia/ati boards there, but I agree that you could first try to tune your application with the default pipeline - it may just perform well enough.
There's some information about the pipeline properties here: http://java.sun.com/javase/6/webnotes/trouble/TSG-Desktop/html/java2d.html But in short, you can, as Clemens suggested, try -Dsun.java2d.pmoffscreen=false property first if your app does lots of translucency/antialiasing. Also, try setting this env. variable (without the flag above): export J2D_PIXMAPS=shared More info: http://java.sun.com/javase/6/webnotes/trouble/TSG-Desktop/html/gcghe.html#gdkug And make sure that you have enough shared memory on your system http://java.sun.com/javase/6/webnotes/trouble/TSG-Desktop/html/gcghe.html#gdkti Thanks, Dmitri Java2D Team [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
I would first try out how well it does on the XVR600, I guess it should be good enough for most purposes - maybe you don't even need the OpenGL pipeline. You could also try to set pmoffscreen if you have to render many translucent objects, or if you do a lot of antialiasing. As far as I know Nvidia cards are quite well supported on Solaris (Nvidia provides X11/OpenGL solaris drivers), all in all nvidia cards are the best consumer cards if you would like to run the OpenGL pipeline.(Don't go for they cheapest models, 7300GT (which is a 7600) and up are ok). lg Clemens [Message sent by forum member 'linuxhippy' (linuxhippy)] http://forums.java.net/jive/thread.jspa?messageID=243454 =========================================================================== To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff JAVA2D-INTEREST".
