I already explained several times that fixing driver bugs in JOGL might become counter-productive because it doesn't encourage Intel, ATI and Nvidia to provide better drivers on the long term
Julien, I fear this way of doing can fit only small applications with a known public. Imagine that this bug happens not only in Parallels VM but also on older computers with outdated drivers?
it affects the reputation of OpenGL
I don't think that users really care about this. They prefer a program that works not so well than a program that doesn't work at all (and until now it works with Java 3D 1.5.2).
if it is really important for you, please help us to find at least one machine with the same chip and the faulty driver if any.
It's important for me because like Drew, Parallels VM is the platform I use to test Sweet Home 3D under Windows and Linux, along with Mac OS X, and I don't want to buy (and maintain) another PC. I think you can use any Mac running Parallels Desktop, but feel free to request any information that would help the team to fix this issue. Avoiding a VM crash would be already a nice first step !
