Hi Sergey,
I have two questions:
1.
As I read about NSOpenGLPFAAllowOfflineRenderers attribute here
https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/technotes/tn2229/_index.html
To support Mac OS X 10.4 or earlier, you will need to remove this
attribute from your attribute list, as otherwise pixel format creation
will fail.
Should we care about OS X < 10.4?
2.
As I understand, an important for the app to react on the card switching
correctly. For example discrete card is switched to the integrated due
to energy saving and then is switched back. Did you try this scenario?

Hello.
Please review an updated version of the fix:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~serb/8041900/webrev.00
This version fix the problem of incorrect scale under retina display
after gpu is switched. The problem is that we use Quartz based
API(displayid+CGDisplayRemoveReconfigurationCallbac) to handle update
of gpu, but in this callback the information about a current screen
in [NSScreen screens] can be outdated and we cannot properly get the
scale factor of the new device.
There are two options to fix the problem:
- Use cocoa based
api+NSApplicationDidChangeScreenParametersNotification. But currently
most of our methods uses displayid and quartz.
- Postpone the callback for one iteration and wait when [NSScreen ..]
will be updated.
The second approach is selected since the fix will be backported to 8.
Does it have sense to revisit the fix to use the Cocoa based API in
JDK 9 only after the fix?
Thanks,
Alexandr.

Hi, Sergey,
Basically, you should close all apps that can switch the vc including
the utility for switching video cards. Make sure in About This Mac ->
Displays that the integrated card is enabled. Start an application
with the patched version of Java. Check About This Mac -> Displays.
Integrated video card should be still active.
These steps are not enough. additionally this should be done also
(tested on Idea/JEdit and some other applications):
- All old jdk should be removed
- The patched jdk should be re/installed
- The application should be reinstalled and to Info.plist these lines
should be added:
<key>NSSupportsAutomaticGraphicsSwitching</key>
<true/>
- The fix doesn't work for applets, javapanel, javaws, and also with
applications which are running via command line (./bin/java -jar xxx).
Not sure that it can be fixed.
- It also does not work for some bundled applications which contain
NSSupportsAutomaticGraphicsSwitching in the Info.plist. Netbeans for
example. This should be investigated. But for now the fix looks fine.

Hi, Denis.
Can you describe the steps on how to test it. On my mac it still
change the vc.

Please review the fix for jdk9
The fix allows do not force discrete video card usage on MacBook Pro
models with two video cards. I have tested the fix on several MPBs.
