FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.6.0_23"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_23-b05)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 19.0-b09, mixed mode, sharing)

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7600]

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
I'm able to use fullscreen exclusive mode with normal Swing components, but for some reason when I use AWT components I only see a black screen in fullscreen mode. Under Windows7, if I switch away from the window (ALT-TAB) I see that the window preview/thumbnail renders correctly. Upon switching back into the application I get a black screen again.

If I run the same testcase with -Dsun.java2d.d3d=false the screen renders correctly. This problem is 100% reproducible.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Run the testcase.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
The screen should display a small red box in the top left corner. The remaining surface should be rendered blue.
ACTUAL -
Black screen.

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
