-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- I have noticed that my versions of Java on FreeBSD are unable to display any GUI-based applications. When the application loads, I am prompted with a new window that is the correct size and placement, yet it contains nothing but a large black block inside of the window. The applications I am using work perfectly on Linux machines running the Sun JDK as well as Windows machines (both on 1.2.2 and 1.3.0). What could be causing this problem? It affects both the FreeBSD 1.2.2 beta JDK as well as the Sun 1.3.0 Linux JDK. Text-based applications work fine, and Java does not generate any compile or runtime options, it just fails to display the applet properly when a GUI is present. Here's a URL with an example: http://dorm.gashalot.com/~gashalot/freebsd-java-error.jpg As you can see, the large black square should be an application, you can see what the application looks like here (nothing fancy): http://dorm.gashalot.com/~gashalot/windows-correct-java.jpg I can think of no reason this display would not be working properly, does anyone have any idea? I've installed using the FreeBSD ports both times, and I built JDK 1.2.2 for FreeBSD from source using the port. Here's a little about the machine: FreeBSD 4.2-STABLE (kernel built on 1/17/01) PII 400, 128M RAM XFree86 3.3.6, using vncserver to access Running Java versions: java version "1.2.2" Classic VM (build jdk1.2.2-FreeBSD:root:2000/11/04-19:05, green threads, nojit) java version "1.3.0" Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.0) Thanks for any insight you might be able to provide in advance. -R - -- Robert Gash - CS Major \ gashalot@gashalot.com - gte393u@prism Georgia Tech - Atlanta GA \ www.gashalot.com - www.techwreck.net CS1311 Scheme Teaching Asst \ pgp keys - gashalot.com/pgpkeys.txt "Sometimes the heart sees what is invisible to the eye" -H J Brown -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.3a Charset: noconv iQCVAwUBOrzcMv8v4JRxCnrRAQEg5gP/dsA31dE3WBPy+cjrTXxV4yEDFsqSfmfZ ztWvGV9FppiWAGw4OHxMkaqzQXQ0OkkBGQqJzqowMnztiLODGw2b+vjYwSmPk8bj Z2G00+wWAjg8dwocK/FB7oDRu7dUP0KLwiongQ64OPvUX1VzAUdnjWftcBckGcYK rAvgU4Zeo7s= =uQHy -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
