I just have seen this at the java-linux list.

Hi everyone,
I just wanted to give a status update on my experiences with Java3D and
hardware acceleration:
The problems I had with Java3D obviously resultet in bugs in Utah-GLX, so
Java3D is not really to blame (the behaviour was just a bit confusing). Here
are some of my results:
GFX hardware OpenGL implementation Result
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Matrox G400 XFree 3.3.6 / Mesa 3.2 / Works. VERY slow.
Software rendering
Matrox G400 XFree 3.3.6 / Mesa 3.2 / Does not show
Utah-GLX-20000626 textures. Crashes
occasionally.
Non-textured rendering
is reasonable fast.
nVidea GForce XFree 3.3.6 / Mesa 3.2 / Same as G400.
Utah-GLX-20000626
Matrox G200 XFree 4.0 (includes Mesa 3.3) Black picture. The
/ DRI Framerate is
impressive however.
;-)
Matrox G400 XFree 4.0 (includes Mesa 3.3) Crashes.
/ DRI
Matrox G400 Xi-Graphics Accelerated-X Works. VERY fast.
(Demo version 1.1)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So for now the only viable option I know of if Accelerated-X. Using a 3Dfx
board with hardware accelerated Mesa on Glide probably also works, but I have
not tested this. The XFree 4.0 test are not finished yet. A test with the
GForce, as well as using different kernel versions might give other results.
bye...
