Weird numbers in glGetFloat( GL11.GL_MODELVIEW_MATRIX, fb)

[sober]

Here is the excamplecode:

I just open GL Stuff, call LoadIdentity and than glGetFloat()
normaly the Matrix should look like:

1 0 0 0
0 1 0 0
0 0 1 0
0 0 0 1

so the System.out.println should print something like 1 right?

Well, I get a "Weird Number: 4.6006E-41"

Anyone around, who can tell me how to get Numbers I can work with?
I testet glGetInteger, glGetDouble and glGetPointer also, no better result...

You didn't order your float buffer according to the native byte order. Instead use BufferUtils.createFloatBuffer() which does exactly that.

Thanks, works perfectly.
