[JAVA3D] High end 3D Hardware problems

[Pedro Estrada]

System/Environment: Dell Precision 410 dual processor P3-600 1GB RAM Windows 2000 SP1 JDK 1.3 and Java3d 1.2 OpenGL implementation 1600x1200x32 bit display (Single Monitor config) Card: 3DLabs Oxygen GVX420 driver: 2.16-0421   We just received a new card yesterday, a 3DLabs Oxygen GVX420.  On papaer this card looks fast, and it has 128MB of onboard memory.  Anyways, it runs fine with straight win32 c++ Opengl demos, but it doesn't seem to like Java3d stuff very much.  In particular screen corruption occurs when I run a java application that makes use of a canvas3d and an AWT gui in the same frame.  This can clearly be seen when I run the GeometryByReference, AlternateAppearance, and TextureByReference demos that are part of the Java3D install.  I entered a bug report at the 3DLabs website, but I am wondering if anyone else is using this particular card and if they have run into this problem and have a workaround.  I don't want to fall back to my Geforce 2 (though it has amazing performance for the price under the DirectX Beta implementation and I had no problems with Java3D compliance).   -Pedro
