JDK-4690085 - Color problems in fullscreen mode
Description
 Most of our GUI takes place in a fullscreen Swing panel running at 
800x600x16.  Intermittently, but fairly frequently (maybe 20% of the time),
the fullscreen window comes up in the wrong video mode.  The bit depth appears
to be wrong on the video card, causing images to be spread out in the X direction with randomized colors.  We see the same bug across many machines so it doesn't appear to be card specific.  Jeff Kesselman with Java2D has been able to see the problem.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Download the hpo-qa.zip file
2. Unzip this file
3. change the hpo.cfg file to point to the jre you are using.
  eg: E:\j2sdk1.4.1_01\jre\bin\javaw in place of bin\jre\bin\javaw.exe
4. Run the HPO application by double clicking on it.

Observation:
The application runs and just resizes the screen, with out getting launched.

OS:
tried on Windows 2000, NT, and 98

EVALUATION This sounds bad enough to target for mantis. ###@###.### 2002-06-17 This issue is easily reproducible in merlin (build 92), but is not reproducible in hopper (b14), even after many trials. I am closing it out as not reproducible with the recommendation that the customer gets a hopper build ASAP. ###@###.### 2002-06-18 Actually, this bug was still reproducible in 1.4.1 (intermittently, as the user said; I found it happening about every 5th time or so for MultiBufferDuke). But there is an open bug regarding this problem, so I will not reopen this bug. See bug 4690085 for more details. ###@###.### 2002-08-19
