Hi,
thanks for the information.
Even though this is indeed most likely a buggy driver we
still need to know it so that we can either work around
the problem or push Nvidia to fix the issue.
The the problems developing overnight may be a sign
of (video) memory leak somewhere in our code.
Thanks,
Dmitri

It's hopeless on a Toshiba M35-S320 with NVIDIA GeForce FX Go5200. This is not surprising
because QuickTime doesn't work either unless I disable D3D acceleration in QuickTime's
settings. I'm stuck with the driver on Toshiba's support site because the drivers on
NVIDIA's web site don't support this "OEM" version of their chip.
OK, definition of "hopeless":
1. Using Nimbus L&F, text does not render in combo box drop-down lists.
Initially I assumed this was a bug in Nimbus but I disabled D3D
(-Dsun.java2d.d3d=false) and Nimbus then works fine.
2. Using Windows L&F, after running over night, a trouble-free application I've
been using for over a year had rendering problems this morning. When I simply moved
the mouse pointer over a dialog, various controls on the dialog (labels, text
boxes, sliders, combo boxes, etc.) would vanish and then reappear. When I restarted
the program I was not able to reproduce the problem. Something about running over
night (it updates text in a JTable every minute) caused rendering to get screwed up.
I'm 99.44% sure all the problems are the fault of the buggy and non-upgradeable
NVIDIA device driver I'm stuck with. But I thought I'd post this report just to
let you guys know that anyone with an old notebook like mine will have problems
with the D3D mode.
If there's anything else you'd like me to try, let me know.
