Both systems are using NVIDIA GeForce 4 MX video boards. One system is an Athlon CPU, the other (the one that doesn't work right) is a dual Opteron system installed with the i386 distribution, not the x86_64. Both are up to date on patches, and both are running 2.6.8-1.521 kernels (the dual Opteron is running the -smp kernel). > Is there any way you can get appletviewer to run the applet, rather > than using Mozilla? That would at least separate Mozilla and the JVM.
