I can’t seem to get a glcanvas to display fullscreen on OSX. All I’m getting is a blank screen, sometimes white sometimes black. Has anybody succeeded in making this work?
Hadn’t tried to be honest. I’m deep in tool land and everything I have is running in a window and in some cases an InternalFrame (that was fun).
I tried some standard AWT components in fullscreen exclusive mode as well, and those don’t work either. The example programs from the sun tutorial on fullscreen mode don’t work either (or at least not 100% perfect). I’ll try with 1.4.2DP2 tonight.
I’ve done stuff fullscreen on OSX before, but it was always hacky and unreliable. Your best bet is to email what’s broken to the Apple Java-dev mailing list and someone will be able to help you. If you act now, you may even get in before 1.4.2 is released.
IOW, build a quick case where it breaks and submit it to the list today 
Will do
No luck under 1.4.2DP2 btw
Pepi - Any luck on this subject? I too am trying to get Fullscreen mode to work properly (Mac OS 10.3.2) Java 1.4.2DP2 but without success…
…help would be much appreciated.
I’m generally getting a blank black screen… when you switch back out of it, you get a quick glimse of what should have been displayed.
Same here.
I’m doing my development in a window for the time being

Ribot, if you’re encountering the issue as well - boil it down to a test case and submit it to Apple. The less ‘fringe’ the issue appears, the more likely the problem will surface and apple will fix it.
ok, greg… but could I just ask if anyone has managed to get fullscreen mode to work (on any platform), and if so, could they post the code they used?
regards,
ribot
I have it working only on Windows XP/2000 - I’d have to dig the code out of my CVS tree to find it (I got it working, said yippee, and went back into windowed mode for my tools).
The nehe jogl ports work in fullscreen on windows. I haven’t tested them on linux. On osx I get the usual result. BTW the fullscreen issue on osx isn’t limited to jogl. I’ve tried running the Sun fullscreen exclusive mode tutorial applications and these don’t work either.
hi, has anyone had success fullscreen jogl on 1.4.2 now its official release?
boxctim,
Fullscreen on Mac OSX doesn’t work for me with jogl but I have been able to write to a full screen in other java apps.
