JOGL + XiG Summit Accelerated X server

OpenGL Development JOGL Development

Hi all.

Glad I finally found this forum.

Someone mentioned to me that JOGL inherantly requires MESA and hence XFree86. I’ve not seen this anywhere so far in all the JOGL docs, so I need to know if this is this correct?

I’m currently creating a simple java application using OpenGL/JOGL.
I’m also using an accelerated X server called Summit from XiG software, which provides direct hardware rendering for opengl amongst other things. Hence, I am not using XFree86 + DRI + MESA.

Currently the application runs using indirect rendering mode, but it does not run using direct rendering. I’m not totally sure why this would occur but I think it’s something to do with the GL libraries.

Am I wasting my time trying to use an alternate X server?

Thanks for any information.

Regards,

Greg

It could be a problem with the default capabilities chooser,
choosing a mode with indirect rendering.
You could try your own chooser and try to select a
HW accelerated mode.

See also topic: hardware acceleration breaks with new version.

I’d be interested to know whether you get HW acceleration working on the XIG server. Keep us posted.

Hello,

We are also developing a java application using JOGL as OpenGL port running on Xig.
But we experience a lot of problems. When we do a GL-call, the application chrashes, and gives a native static as below:

Does the Gears demo from the jogl-demos project work on your system?
