Hi,
I am trying to use a JAVA3D application on a linux host with a radeon card and encountering problems with disappearing 3d objects.
The application in question is SweetHome3D 1.6 (it is free, so anybody can make the test, see http://www.sweethome3d.eu/)
My configuration consists in an older Athlon based PC with a Radeon 9600XT and ubuntu intrepid 32 bit. I am using kde 4.2.1 with effects on.
The java 3d application should display 4 panels. In one of them you enter a 2d drawing. In another one you should see a 3d rendering.
The problem is that the 3d rendering is only visible for a few instants and then it immediately disappears (blanks out).
This happens either:
- with the proprietary catalyst 9.3 driver (that I have uninstalled anyway since support for my card is disappearing soon).
- with the open source radeon driver.
I suspect that the issue might be common to most Java 3d apps on this card, and possibly with other AMD/ATI cards too.
I would like to ask if someone had similar experience, if I am missing something (eg in the xorg.conf) that might help and if someone might suggest some workaround.
