According to HOSOKAWA Tatsumi: > Hi! > > I installed JDK 1.02 on FreeBSD 2.2-960801-SNAP w/ XFree86 3.1.2G.

[..listing of appletviewer dump removed..] *sigh* How terribly surprising. :-( Note all the sun.blah.blah in there? You can get a black and white sun (well, not anymore, maybe, but...) or you can get one with 8 bpp or one with 24 bpp. Ofcourse their stupid lib has to segv if you use 16 bpp! It's not even supported in x86 slowlaris as far as I know. I think it sucks bigtime. That it affects the FreeBSD port of the JDK is very depressing, though. :-( /Mikael
