I use Arch Linux, 64 bit version, with standard X and KDE 4.7 vanilla setup. Java version is 7. JOGL version is 2.0.rc2 (Released on 03-Mar-2011), downloaded from "http://jogamp.org/deployment/webstart/".

I have been playing with JOGL and NEWT for a while, but havent started a serious project until now. I had problems with fullScreen not functioning correctly as far back as Java 6 and JOGL 2.0.rc1. Though I don't know about the input issues with earlier versions.

My window setup is as follows (copied from one of the examples and then modified):
[code]
    NewtFactory.setUseEDT(true)

    val display = NewtFactory.createDisplay(null)
    val screen  = NewtFactory.createScreen(display, 0)
    val profile = GLProfile.get(GLProfile.GL2ES2)
    if (profile == null) throw new RuntimeException("Required GL profile is not supported.")
    val capabilities = new GLCapabilities(profile)
   
    val newtWindow = NewtFactory.createWindow(screen, capabilities)
    val window = GLWindow.create(newtWindow)

    val exitListener = new WindowAdapter with KeyListener {
      override def windowDestroyNotify(e: WindowEvent) { quit = true }

      def keyPressed(e: NKeyEvent) {}
      def keyReleased(e: NKeyEvent) { if (e.getKeyCode() == NKeyEvent.VK_ESCAPE) quit = true }
      def keyTyped(e: NKeyEvent) {}
    }
    window.addWindowListener(exitListener)
    window.addKeyListener(exitListener)
    window.addKeyListener(wrappedInput)
    window.addMouseListener(wrappedInput)

    window.addGLEventListener(glEventListener)
    window.setAutoSwapBufferMode(true)

    window.setPosition(0, 0)
    window.setSize(800, 600)
    window.setVisible(true)
    window.setFullscreen(false)
    window.enablePerfLog(false)
    window.requestFocus()
[/code]


My wild guess at the moment is that I am using outdated natives libraries. I am working on an ANT script to download all the libraries and launch a simple example. Then I will test it on my system and some live-cd versions of linux.
