OpenGL Processing apps don't work in XP for me
May 4th, 2008, 12:26am  
Hi all!

I've been trying to get Processing applications to work in OpenGL for me. It works flawlessly in OS X, but not so well in XP.

On my MacBook (w/ the Intel GMA X3100) under a Boot Camp'd XP, it works neither in present nor in normal windowed mode.

On school XP machines (which I believe either have the GMA 900 or 950), it sometimes works in windowed mode, but never inp resent mode.

Does anyone have hacks or fixes for this behavior? I've tried playing with the OpenGL settings and updated the drivers (both as per suggested by the reference section here on OpenGL in Processing), but to no avail.

Any help would be much appreciated!

I should be more clear  "doesn't work":

It compiles fine, but shows a blank screen if in 'present' mode or a blank frame if in 'window' mode. In both cases, the program is definitely running (I can make writes to console), but nothing is displaying. If I switch to other modes (e.g., P3D), it works fine.

Problem solved!

After further research, it turns out that the culprit was some conflict Windows DirectDraw. JOGL has the issue documented on their site (see #3): http://opengl.j3d.org/faq/jogl_basics.html

All that needs to be added is the argument "-Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true" for the JRE.
