Failed to initialise the LWJGL display

[Mindless]

Hello,

I wanted to make a project with Slick

http://slick.cokeandcode.com/

"Slick2D is a simple set of tools wrapped around the LWJGL OpenGL binding for Java"

But my problem is concerning LWJGL.

I was at school and wanted to make slick working on my computer for a project. I did this tuto to configure slick with eclipse http://www.cs.bsu.edu/homepages/pvg/misc/slick_eclipse_tutorial.php and it works at home but not at school.

I work with Windows XP on Virtual PC 2007.

The webstart demo on slick website dont work.

Pulpcore demo ( applet ) work.

And I tried an opengl application with SFML in C++ and it works.

This is my error

add -Dorg.lwjgl.opengl.Display.allowSoftwareOpenGL=true to the command line.
The problem is missing hardware opengl (drivers)

Wow, I hope it could work ! But before, how do I do this ?

EDIT: I did it. "Run / Debug settings", "Arguments", "VM arguments" and add the line below.

Thanks a lot !!!!

Is there any way to query that behavior and force/let the user select software mode?

[Matzon]

not really, you could probably just add it and then query the renderer and if its sofware ,then warn the user ?
