Hi all

My apologies if this has been discused elsewhere. Are there any issues with running Xith3D using an OpenGL 1.5 graphics card?

If I use an up to date driver for my card (a Nvidia GeForce FX 5900 on WinXP SP1) which implements OpenGL 1.5, the Xith demos don’t work. A white canvas is shown and the CPU is maxed out.

If I roll back the driver to the one that shipped with the card, which implements version 1.4, the demos work fine.

Quite strange behavior, but it seems to be related to JOGL, not Xith3D.

Can you try JOGL demos and let us know if they work for you?

Hi

The JOGL webstart demos work fine with both drivers.

I just wanted to add that all 3D applications that I throw at my graphics card, with the exception of those using Xith3D, work fine. This is a real shame as Xith had looked like it would be useful.

I’m going to re-enter my 3D holding pattern and observe what happens on the Java3D front.

Hi - I had the same problem recently - Im currently running openGL 1.5 and couldn’t run any of the demos
(windows platform, Nvidia GeForce3 64mb.)
after much investigating - I found that it was jogl that was the problem
I could run the jogl stuff on its own but not Xith3d demos.

  • I have since downloaded all the third party libs and
    and everythings works fine now.
