[quote] Is fundamentally wrong -- at least in my case. [/quote] I tend to hate such heuristic desicisions - I was hit by them in the oppsite way: I have a Core2Duo Laptop with 2GB Ram running Linux - so by default the server-jvm is used for my desktop applications and even for Applets and small Webstart applications!
Since the upgrade from 1gb->2gb ram (which makes java recognoize my machine as server-class computer) eclipse was terrible unresponsive - and java does nit even provide a non-hackish way of disabling server-class-machine-detection. I had to copy arround the libjvm.so files so that java starts the server-compiler but instead launches the client compiler. A bug-report filed by me was closed :-/ [quote] Then have higher level layers of graphic acceleration for the more advanced video cards. Shading etc. [/quote] Well I think some kind of black-listing would probably the best thing - black-list which driver/os/directx-versions are known to be broken and emit a small warning on the command line about that (this way many more people will complain at gpu manufacturers to provide better drivers). What you mean would be really hard to implement - in fact this would lead to many different implementations for each GPU generation. Who should pay all the programmers and bug-fixers ;) lg Clemens [Message sent by forum member 'linuxhippy' (linuxhippy)] http://forums.java.net/jive/thread.jspa?messageID=246073 =========================================================================== To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff JAVA2D-INTEREST".
