LWJGL with WinXP and software rendering

[gtom79]

Hi Folks,

I'm new to LWJGL and started using it as a replacement for java3d to get rid on some performance issues.
As far as it concerns the performance I'm 100% satisfied  but I have some troubles getting it running on machines with limited graphic capabilities.
The requirement:
- The application using SWT.
- I need to run it on a windows machine, and I have to access the whole thing over remote desktop.

Currently I'm completely lost, since the application seems to run correctly, however I see only a gray window (without remote desktop and with hardware acceleration is everything ok. It runs on other platforms too).
I've already tried using the switch:
-Dorg.lwjgl.opengl.Display.allowSoftwareOpenGL=true
but it has no affect.

If debug messages are turned off I see the following written by LWJGL:

Could not locate symbol glGetStringi
Could not locate symbol glClientAttribDefaultEXT
Could not locate symbol glPushClientAttribDefaultEXT
Could not locate symbol glMatrixLoadfEXT
Could not locate symbol glMatrixLoaddEXT

GL_EXT_direct_state_access was reported as available but an entry point is missing
Could not locate symbol glPrimitiveRestartNV
Could not locate symbol glPrimitiveRestartIndexNV
GL_NV_primitive_restart was reported as available but an entry point is missing

but I do not know (resp. I can not find any further info) how to resolve this issue.

Has anybody some clue on this?

Thanks in advance

I think the problem is that when you're running it through remote desktop you get a software only ICD. Whats the output of:
GL_VERSION
GL_VENDOR
GL_RENDERER
?

It seems that LWJGL tries using the generic GDI:

GL_VERSION: 1.1.0
GL_RENDERER: GDI Generic
GL_VENDOR: Microsoft Corporation

Is there a possibility to use mesa for rendering?

Actually I found another topic where the same question was discussed (mesa). I also do have the solution now, and mesa works fine with lwjgl!
