Thank you everybody for your answers. I understand that opengl works under linux for other users, so it's either a j bug that becomes manifest with my configuration, or a bug of the vesa libraries.
Because I am just starting learning J (out of curiosity), and lack of opengl is no showstopper, I'll skip all opengl material and move on. At some point a hardware or software upgrade may fix the issue.
