EXTRA RELEVANT SYSTEM CONFIGURATION :
SuSE 9.1 Pro , TNT 2 video , NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6106-pkg1.run driver

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
run a swing demo with OpenGL enabled:

java -Dsun.java2d.opengl=True -jar $JAVAHOME/demo/jfc/Notepad/Notepad.jar

The demo opens and is really broken.The gui is messed up.Menues don't repaint correctly.When I close the app I get:

#
# An unexpected error has been detected by HotSpot Virtual Machine:
#
#  SIGSEGV (0xb) at pc=0x4662c9d2, pid=11318, tid=1167641520

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
run the Notepad demo

java -Dsun.java2d.opengl=True -jar $JAVAHOME/demo/jfc/Notepad/Notepad.jar

Close the program.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Normal exit.
ACTUAL -
VM crash with SIGSEGV

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
use an older NVidia driver (NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-5336-pkg1.run for example)

EVALUATION This appears to be a major regression in Nvidia's latest Linux drivers (6106). We'll have to narrow this down into a native testcase and send it off to Nvidia for review. ###@###.### 2004-07-14 This issue (app crash on exit with 6106/6111 drivers) has been fixed by Nvidia in their latest (6629) driver release. There does not appear to be any way to workaround this problem in our OGL-based pipeline, so the only way to resolve the problem is to upgrade to the 6629 drivers. (There are also performance improvements in the 6629 driver that are worth the upgrade.) Once we've tested the new 6629 drivers on a few configurations and are convinced that the issue is fixed, we will close this bug. ###@###.### 2004-11-09 21:03:53 GMT I installed the new 6629 drivers on my JDS (Mercury) system (2x 2.6 GHz P4, Nvidia GeForce FX 5600) and I am no longer able to reproduce the crash-on-exit bug reported here, after trying a number of applications such as Java2Demo, SwingSet2, etc. I think we can safely say that the 6629 drivers fixed this issue, so I will close this as "not a bug" (in the JDK, that is). ###@###.### 2004-11-10 22:56:53 GMT
