You are posting faster than me. ;-)
Nevertheless, I got the exact same configuration running here since yesterday.
The performance is amazing (really). Not all OpenGL functionality seems to be
implemented correctly right now, however most things seem to work (including
Alpha-Blending, which is extremely important to us) and the thing runs very
stable so far.
Another configuration that works is Matrox G400 with 3D Accelerated-X from
Xi-Graphics. However, we have not extensively tested this configuration yet.

We are still using Java3D with Blackdown JDK1.2.2rc4 or alternatively JDK1.3.0
beta from SUN. Both work.
We have also tested GL4Java, but hope that Java3D is fast enough for our
application, because it is far more easy to cope with.

Unfortunately. Amongst other things we abuse Java3D for Cross-Fading between
2D components. Does anyone know a better solution (other than JNI)?

P.s. On the LinuxTag I have seen the new Linux boxes from SGI. SGI claims them
to be roughly eighty percent faster than a normal PC equipped with a GeForce2.
They also have their own drivers. Has anyone tested these?
