The intel opengl drivers on Linux are even more broken than their windows/OSX counterparts, and for games usually between 2x-?x slower: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=ubuntu_macosx&num=2 Because some missing features the OpenGL pipeline simply refuses to start, . I read somewhere about it, but I don't have a link, sorry. I am not sure but I guess it does not even support pbuffers, so currently without FBOs or pbuffers the pipeline doesn't have any path for allocating offscreen images. Fourtunalty with Mesa-7.4 there will be GLSL support, and with DRI2 even support for FBOs. > it does not even > support the D3D pipeline on windows because of driver > bugs." http://bugs.sun.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=6620073 (disables the D3D pipeline when an intel gpu is detected) http://bugs.sun.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=6599742 .... - Clemens [Message sent by forum member 'linuxhippy' (linuxhippy)] http://forums.java.net/jive/thread.jspa?messageID=326336 =========================================================================== To unsubscribe, send email to lists...@java.sun.com and include in the body of the message "signoff JAVA2D-INTEREST".
