See also bug_small.png Bug #25900. Some Java applications using Swing may not display correctly under Xgl/AIGLX with compiz - the usual symptom is that text is not displayed. A possible solution is to run the following command at a console before launching your java application: export AWT_TOOLKIT=MToolkit If this works, you may want to add these two lines to the file ~/.bash_profile (that is, the file .bash_profile in your home directory): AWT_TOOLKIT=MToolkit export AWT_TOOLKIT Some people have also reported that this issue is fixed in compiz-quinnstorm, an alternative version of the compiz compositing manager that is used to implement 3D accelerated desktop effects. These packages are available in the contrib media. To test them, you will need to remove the compiz package and install the following packages from contrib: compiz-quinnstorm compiz-manager compiz-quinnstorm-plugins cgwd cgwd-themes csm. Please note that compiz-quinnstorm will not recognise configuration changes made by gset-compiz, the compiz configuration tool launched by drak3d. You must use the new csm configuration tool instead. ____________________________________ I haven't tried it yet cause I'm not in 3d right now but let me know how it works for you. benja22 -- "If you don't want your dog to have bad breath, do what I do: Pour a little Lavoris in the toilet." -- Comedian Jay Leno ____________________________________________________ Want to buy your Pack or Services from Mandriva?
