Multiple Video Drivers

[bigfishcatcher]

I have a situation where on my computers at school (I teach programming)
and have been teaching JPCT.  The school system installed some
teacher software that adds another video driver to the system.

I have uninstalled it on one system and OPENGL works fine but after
reinstalling the software it will not LWGGL complains.

Is there a way to tell it which driver to use as I can not uninstall the
software on all the computers.

I don't think that this is possible. As far as i know, there can be only one active video driver (at least per display) on the system.

The name of the program is NetControl 2 and it adds its own video driver to the
display in device manager

[bigfishcatcher]

they call it a video hook driver

[EgonOlsen]

Yes, something like a proxy driver...that's not what i meant with "I don't think that this is possible". What i actually meant was, that you can't access the underlying, real video driver...or in other words: I don't think that you can bypass that proxy driver unless NetControl 2 has an option to do so.

What's the actual error that LWJGL gives you?

You have two other options: Try JOGL instead (http://www.jpct.net/wiki/index.php/The_different_renderers#JOGL_support) to see if that works better. If it doesn't, another option is to use the software renderer instead. It has less features and is slower, but depending on your needs, it might be sufficient.

Thanks JOGL works

Good to know...so the JOGL support finally has a purpose...
