Some sort problem with lwjgl & matrox card

[Matzon]

Matrox sucks - but only for 3D, their 2D is vastly superior to any other card!

As I said I've tried every win2000 driver I could find & I've been using Alien Flux demo as a test to see if lwjgl is working.  

To be honest I can't really see why most of the drivers I tried shouldn't work as at least half of them I think have been released over the last 12 months including one on the matrox site a couple of days ago for this card.

Installation number is 9112626804199352320

I must agree I think this card is crap, but it's the one I have with the machine I've been given by my boss to do some jME/lwjgl work with & I can't get another for a few days.  Looks like I'll have to transfer everything to my machine which has a ATI card forthe time being.

Bugger!!   :evil:

BTW thanks for your help!

Hm, nothing helpful in the logs.
What sort of debugging output are you getting from LWJGL when you run with the -ea option?

how & what would I enable assertions on in Alien Flux?

[princec]

Ah, somewhat trickier in Alien Flux. But you'd get the same answers just trying to run any of the example code with LWJGL 0.8 anyway. I'd just like to get the output of all the C debugging.

just had a go.  Not quite sure about how to use -ea I've never used the assertions which came with 1.4

I know I've missed something

set CLASSPATH=.;lwjgl_test.jar;lwjgl.jar 
java -ea:org.lwjgl.test.opengl.Game

Couldn't tell me what & I'll send you the output.

Just a plain -ea should do the trick - I expect it's the Sys class that needs assertions turned on to get the output, but may as well just turn the lot on to be sure.  You were almost right, but need to drop the colon:

set CLASSPATH=.;lwjgl_test.jar;lwjgl.jar
java -ea org.lwjgl.test.opengl.Game

[princec]

DO NOT USE CLASSPATH!

Always use -cp on the commandline:

java -ea -Djava.library.path=C:\lwjgl-0.8-win32 -cp c:\lwjgl-0.8-win32\lwjgl.jar;myCode.jar com.me.Game

or whatever.

I've got lwjgl to work!! :lol:  :oops:  :shock: etc......

Someone sent me a recent driver I hadn't tried, I ran the lwjgl game test & it worked very badly & so did Alien Flux with a few glitches.

This card sucks so I've already changed it with an spare old ATI one I had lying around.

I will never buy or use a matrox card if I can help it again.

Thanks again for your help
