Error under Linux, when not in Group "video" with mesa driver

Hi,

I tried to use JOGL under Linux (OpenSuSE 12.3). If the user is not in the local group video of the system I'm getting the following error:

#
# A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:

Current thread (0x00007ff1c8003000):  JavaThread "J3D-Renderer-1" [_thread_in_native, id=29272, stack(0x00007ff25e5f4000,0x00007ff25e6f5000)]

siginfo:si_signo=SIGSEGV: si_errno=0, si_code=1 (SEGV_MAPERR), si_addr=0x0000001800000000

This only happens if the mesa driver is used, due to the onboard graphics card of the intel i7. The same configuration is working with a nvidia graphics card and the nvidia driver.

Any hint to resolve the problem?

Do you get the same SIGSEGV crash using other OpenGL applications like glxinfo and glxgears?
I recommend you to add a bugreport to the mesa bugtracker.
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/

No. All other 3D application are working.

Sounds like the tradition DRI kernel module authorization,
so not everybody can use such features.
Thought it was removed a while ago ..

However, this seems not to be an issue of ours.
Otherwise .. please make a full bug report (Wiki/FAQ/Bug...).

Then please file a jogamp bugreport:
We need some additional information about your system and testcase:
http://jogamp.org/wiki/index.php/Jogl_FAQ#Bugreports_.26_Testing
Please provide that and then we may try reproduce the issue.
