JOGL crash with ATI mobility Radeon HD 5470

Hello,

JOGL crashes on the following configuration:
ATI mobility Radeon HD 5470 - driver 9/9/2010 version 8.771.1.0
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit - SP 1

It crashes before any of the GLEventListener methods is called.

The following code passes without crash:
GLProfile.initSingleton(true);
GLProfile glp = GLProfile.getDefault();
GLCapabilities caps;
caps = new GLCapabilities( glp );
caps.setSampleBuffers(true);
caps.setNumSamples( 4 );
caps.setDoubleBuffered( true );

The same crash happens when trying demo applet or webstart samples from jogamp.org.

Is this kind of problem being worked out?

Regards,
Guillaume.

Hard to tell without more information :) First, I assume those are the latest drivers? If not, please update them and try your test again, just to rule out driver problems.

Once you have the latest drivers, you'll also need to supply the crash info (for example the stack trace or HotSpot error file that dumps when the crash happens), and the exact line of code the crash happens on (as well as the code leading up to that line). That way we may get some idea what's going on.

I know, it might sound harsh or complicated, but it really helps us.
Thank you very much.

Bug 520 -JOGL crash with ATI mobility Radeon HD 5470

As it's a customer's computer in a corporate environment, there is no way to ask for a driver's update. The same application running JOGL 1 works well on this computer.
