Failures calling GLCapabilities

Hello guys.  What I thought was DLLs failing to load is now looking like a graphics driver bug.

Remember I'm using native DLLs, not the JAR unpacking feature. Then see stack trace below.

The "problematic frame" looks like an Nvidia DLL, which was called by way of GLCapabilities. When this driver call bombs, JOGL continues to try to unpack the JAR file and that fails but is caught.  Then the whole JVM aborts.

So three questions:
1. Is my interpretation correct?
2. Is anyone interested in getting more information on the driver and GLCapabilities call?
3. Is there a way to prevent the JVM from dying after this error?  My app is 80% vanilla Swing and can function just fine even if JOGL doesn't load correctly.  But this bug is causing sudden death during GLCanvas initialization.  Will catching all exceptions at the GLCapbilities call work?

Thanks as always.

When I see one of these stack traces that ends inside the driver, around 90% of the time it's a driver bug  The first thing to do would be make sure your driver version is up to date with the latest on the NVIDIA site. Then after that, if it's still failing, it might be worth starting a diagnostic process to see if JOGL somehow caused it. It's not impossible for JOGL to cause a problem like this, but it's pretty unlikely.

Wade is right, there is the same crash in the game StepMania, it uses plain C OpenGL:

QuakeLive does the same...

Do you use several monitors? Do you use several 3D graphics cards?

Thanks guys. At the moment this is one of 2,000 users, so he's in our process.  We advise exactly what you say: get newest drivers.

If I catch an exception around the GLCapabilieis() call, will it prevent the JVM abort, in you experience. Unfortunately the program runs fine on all my test machines, so I can't replicate the bug locally.

Thanks.

I have found some other examples, it crashes in MineCraft and Wurm Online too. The crash happens very early in the native code, I don't see any smart solution to prevent it.
