Hi

My game has been tested under Ubuntu and Lubuntu with success. I use Mageia Linux at home and I tested with Fedora, it worked like a charm. Please run the unit tests provided with JOGL and enable all logs. In my humble opinion, it is a bug reproducible with a very few open source drivers under a very few Linux distros, there is no need to use a scary title and please be more accurate, indicate the exact driver version number and the graphics card in use instead of vaguely claiming you use an open source driver (proprietary drivers have bugs too). I have used JOGL since 2006 mainly under GNU Linux often with open source drivers (proprietary ones were not available any more in most cases) and I confirm it works like a charm. This time your problem may come from JOGL but we need some information. Please write a very complete bug report with your test case, all logs and the details about the machine you use.

Edit.: I've merged your latest thread with the previous one because they are both about problems with a very few open source drivers under GNU Linux and I hate scaring inaccurate titles.
