>From: Robert S Laramee <rlaramee@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> >Keywords: 200101190123.f0J1NNe13772 Hi Robert- >I am trying to run Java3D, including VisAD on Red Hat Linux 7.0. I'm >running into a problem when i close the applications. When I close a >Java3d demo application and my own VisAD application with the 'X' widget >in the top, right-hand corner of the window frame, The Red Hat Window >managers -KDE or GNOME shut down and kick me off so that I have to log >onto my machine again. Has this happened to anyone else? Haven't had that problem. I'm running RH 6.2 though. >I've tried Java3d 1.1.3 and Java3d 1.2 and it seems to be happening with >both of them. The regular Java demos work fine, as expected i.e. the demo >programs that come with jdk 1.3 (Notpad.jar for example). Also, the Mesa >3.4 demos close without a problem -although i could only get the 'bounce' >demo working. What about the Java 3D demos (GearTest, etc)? >I'm also having a problem with my colors for both the Java3d and Mesa >demos. As soon as I click on one of the demo application windows all the >colors on my desktop change. They turn dark, and then back to normal when >I click on any other window. I wonder if these problems are related. >I sometime, inconsistently, get an error message that is something like: >'Cannot find color map entry for default background.' This sounds like you are running in 8-bit mode and you are having a problem with colormaps. If this is the case, try running in a higher bit mode (> 256 colors). On RH Linux, the desktop widgets really suck up colors. >I wasn't having any of these problems on my old machine. Any ideas are >appreciated. Was that RH Linux also?
