David,

Generally the Nvidia cards are ok, and ATI cards have some trouble with
Java3D. Don Murray is using an ATI video card on Windows. We are seeing
some minor problems with NVidia now on Linux, which may be our own
doing, though they did not occur until recently.  With the constant
change in java, software built on Java, and video systems there is no
fixed answer to this question. There is no clear winner for the IDV.
