Hi,

I fixed that problem.

Originally the code looked like this

_examinerViewer = new SoXtExaminerViewer(_frame9, "examinerViewer", TRUE);
_gLwMDrawingArea5 = XtCreateManagedWidget("gLwMDrawingArea5",
       glwMDrawingAreaWidgetClass,
       _frame8,
       args,
       ac);

I swapped the order of those calls, and now
it works fine.  (I guess that's a bug in
Inventor on Linux?),

Regards,
Paul.

When you say "OpenGL display area", do you mean the rendering area in one of the Inventor viewers? How are you rendering the image and what format is it? Does the application work when remote displayed, e.g. to your Octane? Do you
have a simple test case to reproduce the problem?
