Description raharsha 2005-07-29 08:58:47 UTC 
OS:

SunOS ultra 5.11 snv_17 i86pc i386 i86pc

System:
Pentium IV with intel i810 graphics card. 

All the java demos (including 2D) and netbeans 3.6 and 4.0 work properly.
netbeans 4.1 comes up, but all the screens are grey. The menu and everything
seems to work, only display is not seen.

The X server is Xsun. With Xorg netbeans 4.1 works, but I am unable to use it
because of flicker problem with Xorg.

1.6.0 (mustang latest build) and none of them work. I have attached the

Comment 4 Patrick Keegan 2005-07-29 13:42:27 UTC 
maybe a duplicate of issue 58960?
Comment 5 raharsha 2005-07-29 14:07:21 UTC 
Thanks for pointing this out. I think it is a duplicate of issue 58960. But that
issues has been closed because the submitter used another video card. I dont
have that option as my motherboard does not have a graphics card slot. I think
it is still worth investigating as all the java swing demos work and only
netbeans 4.1 does not work.
Comment 6 mslama 2005-07-29 14:17:19 UTC 
Similar issue #60875 was reported for nevada though not duplicate as it was on
different hardware.
Comment 7 _ tboudreau 2005-07-29 17:59:24 UTC 
Do some things display but some never paint?  Does everything paint if you resize the window?  If so it 
could be similar to another issue that occurred a while back on mac - AsyncGuiJob waiting for a 
PaintEvent that never comes.
Comment 8 raharsha 2005-07-29 18:08:03 UTC 
No. Nothing displays. Only the edges can be seen when it does outside the
border. (see the latest attachment). Even resizing, moving does not help.

Comment 11 David Simonek 2005-08-05 15:34:06 UTC 
This is weird, I have no idea how Netbeans could cause this itself...
Marek, any chance you could reproduce this behaviour? I'm running on very
different hardware and have no chance to fix this.
Comment 12 raharsha 2005-08-06 07:30:06 UTC 
I resolved this issues by installing the package SUNWxwplt from solaris 10 GA
release. I think this is a bug in solaris package that contains Xsun. Marking
this issue as resolved. Probably you can document this.
