Problems with b237 and b243

Hello guys,

I'm facing some issues with JOGL2 b237/b243, while b211 works perfectly.

Basically I'm using the createExternalGLContext() method to create an external OpenGL context which I used in the QtGLWidget of Qt Jambi. This works nicely in b211, today I wanted to upgrade to a newer build once again and I noted that OpenGL is not drawing anymore.

I don't see any exceptions or similar, but I have a part in my code which does this:

                logger_.info("OpenGL: vendor = " + gl.glGetString(GL2.GL_VENDOR)
                             + ", renderer = " + gl.glGetString(GL2.GL_RENDERER)
                             + ", version = " + gl.glGetString(GL2.GL_VERSION));

At runtime this results in the following output:
12:55:04,410  INFO main [GLDrawingEngine:102] OpenGL: vendor = null, renderer = null, version = null

Which is obviously not correct at all... in the past this used to be:
12:55:04,410  INFO main [GLDrawingEngine:102] OpenGL: vendor = ATI Technologies Inc., renderer = ATI Radeon HD 4800 Series, version = 2.1.9116

Now I did some tests to try to reproduce this issue without QtJambi in a simple AWT context. At this stage I also saw some strange issues:

In b211 I get for this output:
OpenGL: vendor = ATI Technologies Inc., renderer = ATI Radeon HD 4800 Series, version = 3.1.9116

While with b237 or 243 I get this output:
OpenGL: vendor = Microsoft Corporation, renderer = GDI Generic, version = 1.1.0

So somehow it switches back to the Software Renderer?

For the simple test, I used the following code:

public class Map implements GLEventListener
{
    public static void main(final String[] args)
    {
        GLProfile.initSingleton(true);
                GLProfile glp = GLProfile.getDefault();
                GLCapabilities caps = new GLCapabilities(glp);
                GLCanvas canvas = new GLCanvas(caps);

                Frame frame = new Frame("AWT Window Test");
                frame.setSize(300, 300);
                frame.add(canvas);
                frame.setVisible(true);

                // by default, an AWT Frame doesn't do anything when you click
                // the close button; this bit of code will terminate the program when
                // the window is asked to close
                frame.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {
                    @Override
                    public void windowClosing(final WindowEvent e) {
                        System.exit(0);
                    }
                });

                canvas.addGLEventListener(new Map());

                FPSAnimator animator = new FPSAnimator(canvas, 60);
                animator.add(canvas);
                animator.start();
    }

    private double theta = 0;
    private double s = 0;
    private double c = 0;

    @Override
    public void display(final GLAutoDrawable drawable) {
        update();
        render(drawable);
    }

    @Override
    public void dispose(final GLAutoDrawable drawable) {
    }

    @Override
    public void init(final GLAutoDrawable drawable) {
        GL2 gl = drawable.getGL().getGL2();
        System.err.println("OpenGL: vendor = " + gl.glGetString(GL2.GL_VENDOR)
        + ", renderer = " + gl.glGetString(GL2.GL_RENDERER)
        + ", version = " + gl.glGetString(GL2.GL_VERSION));
    }

    @Override
    public void reshape(final GLAutoDrawable drawable, final int x, final int y, final int w, final int h) {
    }

    private void update() {
        theta += 0.01;
        s = Math.sin(theta);
        c = Math.cos(theta);
    }

    private void render(final GLAutoDrawable drawable) {
        GL2 gl = drawable.getGL().getGL2();

        gl.glClear(GL.GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);

        // draw a triangle filling the window
        gl.glBegin(GL.GL_TRIANGLES);
        gl.glColor3f(1, 0, 0);
        gl.glVertex2d(-c, -c);
        gl.glColor3f(0, 1, 0);
        gl.glVertex2d(0, c);
        gl.glColor3f(0, 0, 1);
        gl.glVertex2d(s, -s);
        gl.glEnd();
    }
}

Anybody ideas? Did something change here recently? Or is this still a work in progress?

Thanks,

Just tested ur code with build #243 under Win7x64/ATI R4500M/5100M and Vistax32/NVidia 8800MGTX and it works fine. So I guess its more a driver/hardware issue on ur side than a JOGL build #243 issue.

I would suggest trying to upgrade ur drivers to the newest version, as this usually resolves such issues.
