I'm currently trying to fix this upon my machine, but haven't succeeded yet. Josh Triplett (http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6532373) suggested the following: ---begin--- I worked with jcristau and christoph4 via IRC on #debian-x, and we managed to track down the problem with broken locking in Sun Java 1.5 and 1.6. It only occurs if Java finds the Xinerama extension, at which point it does something broken with locking and triggers the assertion. If Java never finds the Xinerama extension, it doesn't trigger the assertion for broken locking. The following workarounds address this problem: For sun-java5-bin: sed -i 's/XINERAMA/FAKEEXTN/g' /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0.11/jre/lib/i386/xawt/libmawt.so ---end--- You need to modify the path for your jre. This seems to have helped several people. But it didn't work for me. A sure fix is going back to Suse10.2! :( Ted. -- Dr E.A.
