I tried to run the sample “Multisample.java” from “jogl-demos-src”
but I get the following error message

WARNING: antialiasing will be disabled because none of the available pixel formats had it to offer

What does that mean?

I use jogl-1.1.0-rc3 on my computer.

It means your graphics card doesn’t seem to support full-scene antialiasing. What graphics chip do you have?

#3

My graphics chip is a GeForce4 MX 4000

It’s definitely possible that that chip is old enough that it doesn’t support FSAA.

#5

Indeed, according to the OpenGL Extensions Viewer the MX4000 doesn’t support the GL_ARB_multisample extension, which is required for FSAA in OpenGL.

#6

Can that be right? I remember my GeForce 2 MX doing FSAA in Quake 3, which I’m pretty sure is an OpenGL game. Hella slow, but it was capable nonetheless.

Hallo.
I run the programm on a nother computer and it works.
The problem was the graphics card.

Thank you for helping.
