Hi George,

 Actually Intel OpenGL driver has never been supported on Java and

Java 3D. However Intel is making good progress on its Intel HD GPU series recently. It's Windows D3D driver is supported on JavaFX for some time now. We hope similar progress is made on its OpenGL driver. Has everyone tested it on Linux?

It's startling that one of the most common GPUs is not supported. I remember that it was supported back in the Java 3D days...

#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.
