Hi!

I frequently test JOGL on several Linux distros (KUbuntu, Mandriva, Mageia, Cent OS, Debian, etc...) and I have never experienced such problems. However, there might be some problems with some particular drivers but they concern all OpenGL applications, not only those using JOGL. For example, the Nouveau driver on NVIDIA graphics card gives me a black screen with JOGL 1.1.1a on Mageia Linux 1 whereas the proprietary driver works fine.

ATI Radeon HD drivers work bad sometimes, try to use an ATI Radeon driver instead. Which driver do you use?
