Exception Access Violation

OpenGL Development
#1

Clubie ( at least feeling that way) here.

Our dev box just got “promoted/demoted” to Win 2003 Server. Went to run my lwjgl game in fullscreen and I get the list of diplay modes, the one I want is in the list, but when it attmepts, it kicks out with the above error in the Java HotSpot with a problematic frame.

The log create has a huge dump of stack bits in hexidecimal. Then the java thread
org.lwjgl.opengl.Display.createContext(Lorg/lwjgl/opengl/PixelFormat;)v+0

lwgjl .92, java 1.5, 800 by 600 by 24 by 60htz.

Thanks!!

Wild Ass Guess? It’s probably a permissions problem. Win2003 is the first OS that Microsoft has ever produced that totally forgets about providing a “good desktop experience.” (read: Opening 5 billion holes to the world in the name of convenience.) Unfortunately, Microsoft has taken the extreme approach. You can’t do ANYTHING in 2003 unless you have permissions from the Domain administrator signed in triplicate. Not even the domain admin himself has all rights without explicitly adding them.

So how do you give yourself permission to the OpenGL layer? I haven’t the foggiest. Ask your network admins. :slight_smile:

LOL you are probably right. I am an admin on that box, so I will poke around some more. First day with 2003…lets see how long it takes for me to kill it.

#4

A good place to start is the Active Directory configuration. 2003’s security model runs almost entirely out of it.

(#$*%Q! Active Directory!)

#5

Well it looks like no more dev at work in between work stuff. We have opened this box up as much and we knew how and same issue. doh! This really puts a crimp in my game dev :slight_smile:

#6

And if that doesn’t work, please try the newest LWJGL version, 0.94 to aid us in debugging.

Just a thought, but did you actually install the nVidia/ATI OpenGL drivers for 2003? You also need to make sure that DirectX is installed. Neither one is installed by default.

Have not done an acuatl install of any nvidia/ati opengl drivers for 2003. The video card (dell default) has had its driver updated.

According to dxdiag, directx is installed.

I will take a look at that thread.

EDIT. think I will push for another machine with 2k pro… LOL

#9

You might try reinstalling both, just to be sure. I know that the drivers that ship with most 3D cards are absolutely useless. Also, you might try giving a JOGL program a go and see if it works right.

Or better still, Quake2, the gold standard of OpenGL simplicity.
