Re: [udig-devel] uDig on Vista ... GDI just say no :-D
|
Apparently it may be related to OpenGL driver: (from Javalobby)
It's related to OpenGL usage. You may need to download an OpenGL
driver from Khronos that is native Vista compatible, otherwise it will
an old non-Vista aware OpenGL driver which I've heard disables the
Vista compositing stuff. You either have to uninstall your 3D card
specific OpenGL driver and let the default MS Vista OpenGL->DirectX
wrapper work, or, you need a new Vista approved OpenGL ICD.
It's not Java specific. Any OpenGL app that is windowed and not full
screen will cause the problem. I think only NVidia offers a beta ICD
driver for Vista that is compatible with Aero.

I have uDig working on vista now - great job with the installer.
A couple of gotcha's remain:
- having to let the help application open a port (requires
administrator password)
- visualizing any WMS makes use of some GDI operating system calls -
that forces vista into a "safe" mode where transparency is shut off
Here is the message:
The color scheme has been changed to Windows Vista Basic
A running program isn't compatible with certaint visual elements of
Windows. Click here for more information.
It may be that changing the JRE will clear this up; since the SWT code
was doing just fine before the first map opened up.
