Zoran, I am running - SuSe 7.3 Linux - JDK 1.3.1 - Java 3D 1.2.1_01 - ASUS V8200 nVidia GeForce3 Ti 500
i noticed no J3D specific problems running without the nVidia drivers which are not part of SuSe's distribution. after installing nVidia drivers samples ran ok, but when i started my application, which uses multiple views, it crashed. the fix was to start my J3D app with -Dj3d.sharedctx=false as you might know, the Linux ports of J3D are released some time behind the windows and solaris versions, because they are done by blackdown.org. IDE: JBuilder is ok. IntelliJ IDEA is perfect. the others i don't know.
