Well, the good news is that you are not the only one having this problem.
The problem was caused by us upgrading to the latest 1.3.2 release of
Java 3D.  Apparently, they made a change that needs a more recent version
of the GLX (1.3) which perhaps your Mesa/X server does not support.

Could you please send info on which version of Linux you are using
and the X server version and Mesa version on that machine?

In the mean time, if you have 1.2b2 still installed, you can either
modify the runIDV script to point to the jre/bin/java in that directory,
or just replace the jre in the 1.2 directory with the one in the
1.2b2 directory. (I'd try the former first to make sure there are
no problems).
