VGN FE11S Java Runtime Black Screen

acidk — Thu, 09 Mar 2006 14:45:26 GMT

I have a VAIO VGN FE11S.
I have the problem that my screen goes black every time a java aplication stats. I can only see the mose on the black screen. The system is ok it is working but only the screen stays black.

I found out that JAVA is causing this prolem. So i have turnd of the hardware acceleration and then i can start JAVA applications again.

How can i run Java with hardware acceleration?

Hi,

I've got exactly the same problem with my Vaio VGN FE11S and I have the latest NVidia Drivers.

Does anyone have a solution ?

I have no solution to this problem yet, but I can tell you this happens in my sony if I set my display settings to highest quality. I have the latest drivers, but it still does that black screen.

Just grasping at some straws.
Java will open a runtime console. ( a window with a black background ) This DOS? window can open as a full screen. If running Java applications that don't write to this screen use javaw instead of java as this doesn't open a DOS window. If running applets from the browser look in
C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_05\bin
where you will find the file 'javacp'. This opens a control panel. Select the Advanced tab and click the '+' alongside 'Java Console'. You will then see an option to hide the console. N.B. you must have the option to use this directory checked on your browser.
This is guesswork as I don't have the problem on my FE11S.
Best of luck.

got the same problem here.
I tried all the tips but there is no change. It does not work.
It would be very nice if someone from the sony support team could do a reaction on that thread because it is a really critical Error!
A brand new notebook which can not run Java Applications!!!

I don't think this is a Sony problem, but a Sun problem...

I don't think this is a Sony problem, but a Sun problem...

it seems to be a sony problem, otherwise the java programs wouldnt run on all other systems...of course it has to do with the display drivers ...or the GC.:smileylove:

Anyway I involved the sony support now!

OK, after I did a lot of investigation, i found a workaround for that problem.
It is of course a problem of the Sony Graphic Driver togheter with a problem with directdraw and java.

http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=513&threadID=305813

After disabling direct draw functionality, java is working.
Workaround:
goto display options-->Problem..handling--> put the slider to the left side.
Now games wouldnt work, but java does.

SONY!! PLEASE FIX UR Graphic Card Drivers!:smileyangry:
