We'll need to rely on Sven to interpret your log file now -- I unfortunately don't have the knowledge to interpret the data that he's writing out there.

I know that the sections of JOGL code that query and list the GL caps have been extensively reworked since 1.1.1a, and there have been problems in this section of code before, especially on older OSes and video cards.

Since your video card is now running the ATI 8.363.0.0 drivers from 08/04/2010 that are on the Gateway web site, and the later drivers from ATI won't install on your notebook, I think your system is upgraded as far as it will go. Thanks for going through this process, I know it's been painful.

One last thing I might suggest is to collect all this information you've gathered over the last few days (versions, log files, code, everything) and create a bug report at https://jogamp.org/bugzilla/. That way this bug won't be forgotten if Sven can't get to it before SIGGRAPH.
