more details:

the exception is thrown when i use GLU.gluPerspective() or GLU.gluLookAt()

what could that be?

thanks

As gluPerspective and gluLookAt call no driver code it’s completely unrelated to your Fedora kernel problem - it’s a JOGL bug.

Have you checked to make sure that libGLU.so is present and is the correct version? Do C programs that use GLU work?

There have been problems reported in the past on Linux regarding the use of GLU. I think we need to resolve these by stopping using the GLU native library and just port all of the routines to Java.

A very wise move.

package xorg-x11-Mesa-libGLU-6.7.0-2 is installed and provides:

/usr/X11R6/lib/libGLU.so.1
/usr/X11R6/lib/libGLU.so.1.3
/usr/lib/libGLU.so.1

it seems that all other native programms work fine. (all gl screensavers for example)

i’ve heard of an ati driver for linux, but on ati.com i can’t find one for my radeon 7500 mobile. they don’t have mobile drivers. are there any unofficial ones? is it possible that jogl would work using this drivers?

thanks

Hi,

Few months ago I also had problems with using GLU from JOGL on Linux (RedHat 9, VIA CLE266 w/ DRI drivers). I tried to figure out the problem that time, but after also decided to port some functions to Java and embed them into Xith3D canvas setup code.

I will vote for pure Java version of GLU.
