The interesting thing is that it seems to be dependent on which display I display it on, not which computer I run it on. If I run it from Linux, FreeBSD, or Solaris and display it on my display (FreeBSD), it does not do Java. If I run it from FreeBSD and display it on the Linux or Solaris display, it works just fine. The Linux box and FreeBSD box have different graphics cards, but the same resolution (16 bpp - actually one Linux box has 8 bpp and the other has 16bpp and both work fine). Basically every version works when displayed on the Linux or Solaris boxes, but no version works when displayed on my FreeBSD box. The only differences between these systems (working and not working) is the graphics card. Also the FreeBSD box doesn't have the Multi-Buffering X11 extension, while all the other systems do. -- Mark O'Lear \ e-mail: Mark.Olear@Colorado.EDU University of Colorado \ phone: (303) 492-3798 Telecomm.
