Thanks --- I've got it resolved now. It turns out using 2048x768 resolution
[with jdk 1.4.1, j3d 1.3 (openGL), and my dual-monitor Radeon 7000 card) worked
fine, whereas 2560x1024 didn't. After rooting around on the web I came across
this:
http://www.ati.com/support/infobase/4030.html
which states there's a directX problem at higher resolutions than 2048x768 on
win2k. But 2560x1024 resolution can be made to work with java3d if under
Display->Settings->Advanced->Troubleshooting you disable hardware acceleration
for DirectDraw & Direct3D.
Many thanks,
Greg

With Java 1.3.1, Java 3D 1.3 and DirectX 8.1, LineWidth settings do
not work.

Don't know about this. I do know there is a problem with
1.4.1 with the mobility Radeon on my thinkpad:
http://mozart.chat.net/~jeske/unsolicitedDave/thinkpad_ati_java_bug.html
which is why I'm stuck at 1.3.1. 1.4.2 is supposed to fix the
problem.
