Hi Udo,

 We are monitoring the GPU driver progress, both open source and

proprietary versions, from the various vendors. That is why we decided to add ATI's fglrx driver to our supported platform after it has passed our internal evaluation. We want to ensure good user experience of our JavaFX library. The goal is to avoid rendering artifacts and hard crashes that are beyond our control.

Thanks,

#2 what about other GPUs, such as the extremely common Intel HD GPUs? Unplanned for FX 8. The problem is that the Intel OpenGL drivers on Linux have been historically very bad in terms of quality and compliance. There is some anecdotal evidence that this is changing, but we don't want to support it. There is a system property you can set to force this for testing, but no way to deploy an application using it. Yes, the intel drivers have a bad history in some areas. OTOH, you might say the same about general usability of the proprietary drivers under Linux (ie the fglrx driver).

#3 any plans to support OpenSource/Gallium3D based drivers (ie nouveau/radeon)? Not support, no. But it might "just work" and is something you could try. I understand, "support" is a somewhat dangerous term, of course. How then do we force things on unsupported platforms? Right now, 3D simply does not work and we did not find anything about the system property you mention.
