Folks, We're just trying to determine what is happening with our HP Kayak boxen with J3D. We've got a couple of applications that just seem to run really weirdly _only_ on the HP box. That is, we've got SGI VW's, Matrox Milleniums, FireGL4000 and other assorted brands of cards/HW combinations and it is only on HP box that we see this stuff. To put simply, it looks like some of the vector math stuff is screwed up. We have a helicopter doing terrain following through a mountainous area. There is some semi-realistic physics also being done. When the chopper decides to turn (including roll in, roll out) it goes into this wierd spinning action like a tumble, and then resumes on its way. We can't quite pin down what is happening, but mainly it is on roll/yaw (orientation changes, not positional). The machines are running the FX6 cards in them with the latest of everything. What really confuses me is that I can't see how the problem is J3D related. It only does this on J3D applications, and only on the HP. Everything else works fine. This tends to point towards the OpenGL drivers or the way that J3D interacts with them, but I thought all this vector math calcs were performed on the Java side of the house, not the native.
