The default java version is 1.5.0_06. The java3d optiona pack is 1.3.2. I have deleted all IDV related and 3d related packages and tried again to bring up idv with webstart. With the same results - only gray background where the black visad frame should be.
Did you install Java 3D 1.3.2? From Web Start, you should be getting 1.3.1 and this could be the problem. 1.3.2 requires a later version of GLX. What type of video card does this system have? Do you have the latest driver installed? Do you have the Java home directory in your classpath?
When starting it with the IDV bundled jre, everything is working fine:/disk1/IDV_2.0/jre/bin/javaws idv.jnlp
If you use the Help->About menu and look at the system tab, does it show 1.3.1 for the Java 3D? If you run the installed IDV using your system 1.5.0_06 version instead of the jre from the installer, do you get the grey screen: <location of jre>/1.5.0_06/jre/bin/java -jar /disk1/IDV_2.0/idv.jar Another thing to try is to have the Java Web Start system console showing when you start the IDV to see if there are any error messages being displayed. To do that, open the Application Manager from: http://java.sun.com/products/javawebstart/apps/player.jnlp and select the Edit->Preferences menu to opent the control panel. Under the Advanced tab, expand the Java Console node and select the Show Console button, then Apply. Then start the IDV. I think the basic issue is the use of Java 3D 1.3.2 instead of 1.3.1, so we just have to figure out how it is getting that instead of the one that is downloaded with the IDV.
