Does the problem persist when you disable the Matrox board in Display properties, and run java with d3d on GF2mx?
I have almost exact configuration as my home system (P3 750, GF2MX, W2k), and I haven’t seen problems like you describe (I havent’ run your app, though =)
;D Hey guys! It works now!
Thanks Seb about the flag sun.java2d.d3d=false, it fixed my performance problem. Like you, I’m running the test with Win2K and a GeForce 2 MX. Is this a java bug or a graghics card bug? Strange.
Now my test runs at 85 fps in 640x480x32, 85 hertzs but I’m sure it could surpass this rate.
Thanks everybody for your support!

I disabled the matrox, I still get bad performance if Java2D uses Direct3D.
I have to add though that I didn’t reboot the computer with the Matrox disabled, that could conceivably modify the operating environment and fix the problem. I’ll try this at a later time when this machine can be taken offline.

Old thread, new info…
Since I posted the last message I upgraded my computer. My new setup is Windows XP on a Duron 1200. I’m still using both the geForce and the Matrox. Both are using microsoft drivers this time, last time I was using the original nVidia and matrox drivers.
What’s curious is that I’m still having bad performance if I don’t disable Direct3D on Java2D
So it appears the problem is not a driver issue. It seems to be either with the card itself, or Java2D’s use of Direct3D.
Seb.
Thanks for the update.
We actually have other people complaining about similar problems with this setup, so we’re looking into what’s going on…
