i am sorry…i am new to jmonkey sdk…i started today itself and when i tried to run the “basicgame” project which is already availbale i got the error "Failed to create display LGJWL exception: Pixel format not accelerated”…thanks in advance

Sounds like you are using a lap top, which might have an Intel card also (dual graphics card). So maybe the lap top selects the wrong card and tries to use Intel. See if there is any control panel where you can force the lap top to use the ATI card, I don’t use windows so I can’t help you there, try :google:

I tried all the ways I could …like disabling the graphics driver , reinstalling the graphics drivers etc…none of them seems to work

What display settings did you use?

Please post the console log from the SDK showing the driver version, settings, etc. from when you ran it.

this is the code…
package mygame;

import com.jme3.app.SimpleApplication;
import com.jme3.material.Material;
import com.jme3.math.ColorRGBA;
import com.jme3.renderer.RenderManager;
import com.jme3.scene.Geometry;
import com.jme3.scene.shape.Box;

/**

  • test

  • @author normenhansen
    */
    public class Main extends SimpleApplication {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
    Main app = new Main();
    app.start();
    }

    @Override
    public void simpleInitApp() {
    Box b = new Box(1, 1, 1);
    Geometry geom = new Geometry(“Box”, b);

     Material mat = new Material(assetManager, "Common/MatDefs/Misc/Unshaded.j3md");
 mat.setColor("Color", ColorRGBA.Blue);
 geom.setMaterial(mat);

 rootNode.attachChild(geom);

    }

    @Override
    public void simpleUpdate(float tpf) {
    //TODO: add update code
    }

    @Override
    public void simpleRender(RenderManager rm) {
    //TODO: add render code
    }
    }

Can you try this tool and see if it is able to detect OpenGL?

“openGl version 1.1”

OpenGL 2 is kind of required. I mean, you can force JME to fallback to OpenGL 1 but it’s ugly and will be disappointing.

Thanks for the info… But how do I get version 2?

Windows + Driver fail.

Windows 8 seems to follow the same path as previous versions of Windows did: Only DirectX is available by default, OpenGL support requires a driver provided by the vendor to be downloaded and installed.

So, looks like you have to download the drivers for your AMD card …
