The reply below from Evan Lowery indicates his solution to a similar problem which I have on running the IDV with an isl
file on a headless Solaris ix6 system.
He says the solution was "specifying Java3D 1.3 (compatibility mode) during install
instead of the default Java3D 1.5."
How to do this is not given (installing what - IDV?).
Please tell me how to "specify Java3D 1.3 (compatibility mode) during install
instead of the default Java3D 1.5."
my error message is:

Java 3D WARNING : reported GLX version = 1.2
GLX version 1.3 or higher is required
The reported version number may be incorrect. There is a known
ATI driver bug in glXQueryVersion that incorrectly reports the GLX
version as 1.2 when it really is 1.3, so Java 3D will attempt to
run anyway.

I have Xvfb running on my system, a matching $DISPLAY is set, and the error for
no vfb does not appear.

All,
Thanks for your help with this issue. I was finally able to get IDV 2.7b2
running on a 32 bit CentOS server by specifying Java3D 1.3 (compatibility
mode) during install instead of the default Java3D 1.5, and using Xvfb when
running ISL scripts. The error below no longer occurs and all ISL scripts
run as they should.
Regards,
Evan
