Hi,

I continuing to test an application on different Linux distributions. I'm having major problems with the new distributions where the proprietary graphics driver for my graphics card is not supported. However, I was hoping that I'd be able to get somewhere with the open source driver.

On Fedora 18 x86_64, Kubuntu 13.04 x86_64 (so far), I can't even get a simple JOGL application to display at all. This image shows the output of a simple JOGL application that just draws a couple of shapes.



I think this may be a driver issue. However, I can run a simple freeglut program on these systems successfully and that made me wonder. Is this a driver issue?

Thanks,
