Textures - program works on one machine, but not on another.

Sounds pretty similar to the problem on my Mac with an ATI card.

Should I file an official bug report, or will you?

I'm still not quite sure what the bug is. The fact that three of the textures display properly seems to indicate that it's a bug in your program somehow, rather than a bug in JOGL. Why would JOGL draw some textures properly but not others, with the exact same code? Textures are all the same to JOGL, unless maybe they're radically different sizes or pixel formats

I'd suggest writing a simple test program that just textures a single quad with one texture (there's an example at https://github.com/sgothel/jogl/blob/master/src/test/com/jogamp/opengl/test/junit/jogl/texture/TestGrayTextureFromFileAWTBug417.java). Then set that texture path to each of your textures from ToyShader, one after the other. If the same ones still don't work, check their sizes and formats to make sure they're all the same. In any case, it'll be much simpler to isolate the problem (and possibly submit a bug report) with a one-page test than in a full-size project.

Finally cracked it. NVidia cards don't mind textures which are sizes other than powers of two, but ATI cards don't like them. Once I rescaled my textures to sizes which were powers of 2, the ATI version worked.

Should the ATI card handle such textures?

It's a newish card: ATI 4870.

Traditionally, only texture dimensions that were powers of two were allowed in OpenGL. Then, with the addition of ARB_texture_non_power_of_two (see http://www.opengl.org/registry/specs/ARB/texture_non_power_of_two.txt) that restriction was relaxed.

If you run etc\test.bat from the JOGL 2 installation, it lists the extensions that your card supports. If ARB_texture_non_power_of_two is not in there, then you've found the problem

But my ATI 4870 card DOES support ARB_Texture_non_power_of_two (according to the OpenGL Extensions Viewer, for Mac). So there is a problem either in JOGL or in Apple's graphics card driver...

Check out http://forum.jogamp.org/Texture-Issue-Again-td2646111.html#a2646679 -- it looks like Haroogan has a similar problem with a similar card.

Can you try running etc/test.sh on your Mac to see if you see the extension? This would at least confirm that it's visible to JOGL.

This also confirms that non power of two textures are supported (although something to do with newt crashed at the end...):
