Hi Chris thanks for your quick response. I have made some progress with my problem since this morning.
It was a rather silly mistake on my behalf. I forgot to change the eclipse JRE to 1.6 so it was still running 1.5. After changing the jre to 1.6 the program enters fullscreen mode without problems. Anyway that was not the only problem. I was now able to go into fullscreenmode but not change the display mode. It seems using a login manager(GDM in my case) prevents the program from changing the display mode. If I don't run the GDM and just use $startx to begin my gnome session the java program can also change display modes. There is just one more thing I'm wondering about. The test program that I run now states that FSEM is possible but it still says the displaymode can't be changed,altough it can. I'm wondering what could be causing it to give a false report?
