Hardware :
p3 733
Matrox G400
256 MB RAM

Win98 and win2k are run on the same hardware in both tests.  16 bit color
depth for all tests.  1024x768 resolution.  Mouse shadows disabled for
win2k.  I've upgraded the drivers in both win98 and win2k to the latest set.

Garbled (DX):
I've been performing tests with a client a teammate has created, and I'm
getting garbled output when using the 1.2.1 directX J3D libraries, under
win98 and win2k.  Previously, with 1.2, I didn't have this problem with
win2k although I did see this under 1.2 w/ win98.

Here's a screen shot of the working, 1.2 output under win2k
(http://www.crackmonkey.e-plagiarism.com/screenshots/directx/win2k-1.2-directx.png
).

The garbled screen output looks like this :

The client I'm running has a pseudo-FPS counter and it reports decent
framerates (50-60 avg) for 98/2000, but this may not mean much given the
garbled output.

Any suggestions?

Performance (OGL):
With 1.2 and OpenGL, I got horrible framerates (5-15) for both 98/2000.
With 1.2.1 I'm getting accel under 98 (and killer framerates, 50-150!), but
not 2000.  Whatever the Sun folks did for 1.2.1 makes me much happier with
OpenGL, at least.

Anyone else have any more luck with the new libraries?  Any new input?

Oh, if you're wondering if your card has OpenGL acceleration, look here :

Thanks,
Matt
