Your exception very much resembles mine. A Blackdown developer tracked it down
and described it as an GeForce specific bug. I don't known if it really is
driver or vendor related.

Well, since this is a Java3D specific question in the broader sense, I can
answer on this list :-)
Try to get and run "screen". Using this utility, you get virtual consoles. You
log on remotely (via ssh), run screen, start X in a screen console and
'detach'. When detaching, screen is continued and so are all the apps you
started within a screen console. You log off. Later, you log in again,
re-attach to screen and stop X. It's all in the man pages.

I have a server running doing exactly what you describe. He uses Java3D for
rendering and makes the rendered JPGs available. He is remotely administered
using ssh/screen. check out http://www.walkmap.de
