DirectX found both HAL and HAL T&L in GeForce card, by
default it will use HAL T&L. You should see
Use Diret3D T&L HAL
after
Current display mode: xx bit
but not the line
Use Direct3D HAL
To force run into particular mode use
java -Dj3d.d3ddevice=Emulation
=hardware
=tnlhardware
If the mode given is not support, the program will exit.

It is always a good idea to compile() the scene.
The T&L stuff is handle by the DirectX driver, it
is not control by the Java3D layer.

This is handle by the vendor specific D3D driver.
Thanks.
