With your newest jar and -DATI_WORKAROUND=false I appear to be running fine whenever I manage to start up. The Animator starts up and keyboard inputs are accepted.
50% of the time, however, I now throw that exception outside of the VM.
Unfortunately, this is the last test I can do on this today.
Here’s the complete report on the exception I get outside the VM. This only happens when I use -DATI_WORKAROUND=false. If I don’t use that parameter, the app freezes on the first frame. When I do use the parameter, it’s a crap shoot as to whether or not the app is going to start up.
An unexpected exception has been detected in native code outside the VM.

So sometimes you get the wglChoosePixelFormat path and sometimes you get the ChoosePixelFormat path. Wonderfu.
Something like that, yes. Take a look at these two log files. Bad.txt shows the exception. Good.txt shows that at the logging point where Bad failed it seems the tests are being performed a second time. Is this expected?
Yeah that is the zombie context being created so it goes through the creating sequence twice. Unfortunately I don’t htink we can guarentee that the zombie context will be created before any other contexts are created which is why you sometimes get the windows path and sometimes the ARB path. I just uploaded a new jar so give that one a try, it will force the zombie context to be created first. It may bring back the old link error though.

Try this new one, it should have a current rendering context when it trys to use wglChoosePixelFormatARB so hopefully it won’t puke.
Marvelous! I’ve tested this about 40 times and it’s run perfectly except for one, where I may have forgotten to pass in ATI_WORKAROUND. This card depends on that flag. I’ve tried both fullscreen and windowed – both work flawlessly.
Sorry for the late reply, I was trapped in a 2-hour meeting.
Before anything’s commited to source, let me test this out on my Radeon 9600 this evening. I can also try it on a GeForce-2 MX400 and GeForce-2 GO. It’d also be good to know if daymark and others also have success with it.
Sorry for not being able to test sooner. I’m getting this every time I run Gears:

Atleast I got one of the two oof you. I am out of town for the next couple days so I won’t be able to look at this again until Friday. Maybe I need a different RC.
I still have the problem on Intel 82852/82855 GM/GME.

Looks like we are down to Intel. I have an idea I want to try so hopefully I will have time on friday.
I’ve had great success on my laptop’s ATI Radeon Mobility 9600, with and without the ATI_WORKAROUND flag. I haven’t had time to try the nVidia cards yet.
I had another go installing the latest Intel display driver. I tried this a week or so ago and it went unstable and I had to restore, so fingers crossed…
Original Dell-provided driver:
GL_VENDOR: Intel
GL_RENDERER: Intel Montara-GM
GL_VERSION: 1.3.0 - Build 4.14.10.3701
New Intel driver:
GL_VENDOR: Intel
GL_RENDERER: Intel 855GM
GL_VERSION: 1.3.0 - Build 4.14.10.3865
Machine spec:
Model: Dell Inspiron 510m laptop, 1.4GHz Pentium M, 512MB
OS: XP-Pro SP1.
Graphics adapter: Intel 82852/82855 GM/GME, 64MB
Graphics driver: Intel Corporation 6.14.10.3865
Its looking good, both with GKW’s 2004-July-13 dev version of jogl and with 1.1b04 released 2004-July-16.
Results testing Gears demo:
GKW’s jogl mods have corrected the problem of the generic Microsoft GDI renderer being selected instead of the Intel renderer, thus fixing the flicker problem. Well done GKW! 
Upgrading the driver seems to have cured the occasional exception thrown on startup.
Also tested an nvidia geforce 256 DDR (latest nvidia driver 56.72 2004-Apr-01) which also works fine, as it always did.
One question though: the framerate on the nvidia is fixed at the refresh rate of the display (70Hz) whereas the Intel’s framerate varies depending on window size. Is there a way to set which mode is used?
Cheers
David
Cool. It is unfortunate that the ATI driver wants a current context to use wglChoosePixelFormat but that seems to be the case, at least for the 128 my M7 seems to work just fine with the old code. I am going to clean up my code a bit but hopefully this will resolve most of the context creating problems. Thanks for the help.
Yeah, it seems to be the 128 that needs that. My Radeon didn’t have a problem with the earlier betas.
I haven’t had a chance to test on my GeForce cards yet. I’ll try to get that done tonight.
I am sorry to say this, but even though the new JOGL seems to run most of the time, it still fails to setup the pixel formats some times.

Giddy, is this on your Intel 82852/82855 GM/GME?
What’s the driver version?
I was getting occasional exceptions on startup until I upgraded to latest driver (6.14.10.3865).
Daymark, yes it was with my Intel board.
I have upgraded the drivers, and that seems to have fixed the problem.
Thanks
