Hi Robert-
>I am trying to run Java3D, including VisAD on Red Hat Linux 7.0. I'm

Haven't had that problem. I'm running RH 6.2 though.
>I've tried Java3d 1.1.3 and Java3d 1.2 and it seems to be happening with

What about the Java 3D demos (GearTest, etc)?
>I'm also having a problem with my colors for both the Java3d and Mesa

This sounds like you are running in 8-bit mode and you are having
a problem with colormaps. If this is the case, try running in a
higher bit mode (> 256 colors). On RH Linux, the desktop widgets
really suck up colors.

Was that RH Linux also?
