Driver: 275.09.04 (beta)
OS: Fedora 15
Windowing System: KDE 4.6.3
JDK: 1.6.0_24

I tested NetBeans 6.9.1 with the default metal theme, Nimbus theme, and GTK theme by running:

/opt/netbeans-6.9.1/bin/netbeans --laf <look-and-feel-abbreviation> \
-J-Dsun.java2d.opengl=true

I've not tried Gnome 3 or WindowMaker yet, but I don't expect any differences.

. . . . just my two cents.

It indeed seems that the 275.09.04 version also fixed it for me, so this is indeed great news .

I still get the same screen as my previous screenshot with 275.09.04, with the same command line parameters.

Testing environment:

Driver: 275.09.04
OS: Fedora 15 2.6.38.7-30.fc15.i686
JRE: 1.6.0_22 (with vulnerability patched)
Xserver: xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.10.2-1.fc15.i686
Gnome: gnome-shell-3.0.2-1.fc15.i686

command line used: java -Dsun.java2d.opengl=True -jar josm-tested.jar

I get the following output (in part):

OpenGL pipeline enabled for default config on screen 0

I get completely functioning menus, icons, text. Since I don't know this software, all I really looked at was the Help->About dialogue box.

I've not tried this under KDE or WindowMaker yet.

I wonder what's different on our systems.

I attached a "nvidia-bug-report.log" with my original comment, so you can see my config there.
My java version is 1.6.0_25, pretty similar to yours.

One difference is that I use Xorg 1.9.3. Another is that I run a 64bit environment.


I any NVIDIA dev is looking into this and needs more info, please ask.

Netbeans 7.0 is crashing at startup if -J-Dsun.java2d.opengl=true is used and grsec TPE is enabled.
With driver 256.53 crash doesn't happen.

I can also confirm this bug still exists with the 260.19.29 drivers on 64-bit linux:

1. If I just set -Dsun.java2d.opengl=true, I see all swing frames are empty - no widgets are drawn (see empty_java2d_opengl_window).

2. If I set -Dsun.java2d.opengl=true and -Dsun.java2d.opengl.fbobject=false (disable frame buffer objects) this works around problem #1 and widgets are displayed (although this has known performance
impacts)

This appears to be fixed for me with the latest 275.09.07 drivers. I can now run java apps with -Dsun.java2d.opengl=true and leave sun.java2d.opengl.fbobject unset (defaulting to true). Widgets display correctly and it seems to be stable.

There is a comment in the release notes for 275.09.07 saying: "Fixed a bug that caused Java2D widgets to disappear when Java is configured to render using FBOs." It looks like this did the trick - thanks Nvidia!

My configuration is similar to what it was in the original post:

OS: Debian 5.0 x86_64
CPU: Core 2 Duo E6600
JDK: Sun 1.6.0_22 64-bit
Graphics Card: Quadro FX 550

I encountered the same problem after I had updated NetBeans to version 7.0, NVidia driver 275.19, sun-java6-jdk 6.26-1. OS: Kubuntu 10.04 32bit, kernel 2.6.32-33.70 (generic-PAE). My video-card is GeForce 9600GT, 512Mb RAM.

But it even behaves worser: NetBeans window is empty and it cannot be closed. The only way to close it is to kill java process. As a work-around I have to launch NetBeans under IBM JDK 6, where fonts are ugly and drawing is slow.
