The problem is that GL4Java's OpenGL context on X11 is relying on
glXGetCurrentContext to function properly and it doesn't with
some of NVidia's drivers. There is a workaround in the GL4Java
CVS repository but I would instead recommend that you switch to
the new JOGL OpenGL binding, which has a simpler and more robust
implementation which has been pretty thoroughly tested on X11.

Note we don't have precompiled binaries yet but the build process
is pretty straightforward. Discussion forums are available on
http;//community.java.net/games/ .
