Hi,

I am seeing random replicating blocks of patterns in the UML drawing area. The outline view/toolbar icons are also showing random patterns, menu text are not visible.

I suspected that it is hardware related. Currently I can get by by setting my screen color quality from 16bits to 32bits and vice versa. It looks like everytime I restart MyEclipse things will go wrong, then I will have to go through the screen re-setting to ocntinue to work.

I am using Dell 6400 notebook, screen resolution 1680 X 1050 pixels.

Eclipse config attached below. Let me know if you want me to provide a screen shot.

Regards,
Yee

Please have a look at this tip, it should help fix the problem:

I tried updating my display driver, it doesn’t work.

Then I tried the following starup parameters, and it doesn’t work either.
“D:\Java\eclipse 3.2\eclipse.exe” -vm D:\Java\jdk1.5.0_09\bin\javaw.exe -vmargs -Xms256M -Xmx756M -XX:PermSize=64M -XX:MaxPermSize=512M -Dsun.java2d.d3d=false

Anything more I can try?

Can you post a screenshot of what you are seeing?

[yeecn]

I do not know how to post a screenshot in the forum – but I have email one to support @ myeclipseide.com.

Yee,
I got your screenshot and replied with a link to our FAQ entry to help work around the issue.

[yeecn]

Riyad,

I applied both tips in the FAQ and it doesn’t help. Any more I can do?

Yee

Yee,
After applying the -D option to turn off 3d acceleration, when you go to MyEclipse > Installation Summary > Installation Details, and check your startup arguments, do you see the -D options or is it not displayed? The order of your startup arguments are important, and if it’s in the wrong location it’s possible that it’s not taking effect.

Unfortunately I do not have any other workarounds at this point for the issue.

[yeecn]

Yes – the -D option has to be at the front for it to take effect, i.e.
“D:\Java\eclipse 3.2\eclipse.exe” -Dsun.java2d.d3d=false -vm D:\Java\jdk1.5.0_09\bin\javaw.exe -vmargs -Xms256M -Xmx756M -XX:PermSize=64M -XX:MaxPermSize=512M

It is not helping me nevertheless. Sigh.

As a last suggestion you could try a different JDK, possiblye 1.4.2_12 to see if that corrects the corruption or even a late build of JDK 6.0.
