Hello Bill Hibbard and the VisAD list, I am trying to run Java3D, including VisAD on Red Hat Linux 7.0. I'm running into a problem when i close the applications. When I close a Java3d demo application and my own VisAD application with the 'X' widget in the top, right-hand corner of the window frame, The Red Hat Window managers -KDE or GNOME shut down and kick me off so that I have to log onto my machine again. Has this happened to anyone else? I've tried Java3d 1.1.3 and Java3d 1.2 and it seems to be happening with both of them. The regular Java demos work fine, as expected i.e. the demo programs that come with jdk 1.3 (Notpad.jar for example). Also, the Mesa 3.4 demos close without a problem -although i could only get the 'bounce' demo working. I'm also having a problem with my colors for both the Java3d and Mesa demos. As soon as I click on one of the demo application windows all the colors on my desktop change. They turn dark, and then back to normal when I click on any other window. I wonder if these problems are related. I sometime, inconsistently, get an error message that is something like: 'Cannot find color map entry for default background.' I wasn't having any of these problems on my old machine. Any ideas are appreciated. -cheers, bob Robert S Laramee tel: (603) 868-1361 9 Woodman Road, #314 office: (603) 862-4336 (new office # as of 11 Jan '01) Durham, NH 03824 URL: http://www.cs.unh.edu/~rlaramee
