Re: [gl4java-usergroup] GLJPanel in software mode?

[Pepijn V. E. <pep...@lu...>]

If you are using the GL(Anim)Jpanel, you will always be using software mode.
The problem here is that most opengl do not support hw accelerated offscreen
rendering. There was a discussion some time ago about how we could work
around this. I offered to look in to it back then, but unfortunately I
haven't had any time to do that yet...
