I am new to Java 3D and I have problem running Java 3D program on
Solaris 9.

Solaris 9
JRE 1.4.2_11
Java 3D 1.3.2
OpenGL 1.3

These are the requirements from the Java 3D Release Notes except the
Frame Buffer listed below and I do not know on how to determine that.
* JDK 1.4.2 or later from Sun Microsystems:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/
* Solaris 8 or later
* Frame Buffer with OpenGL support (XVR-500, XVR-1000, XVR-600,
XVR-1200, XVR-4000, Expert3D, Elite3D, Creator3D, and PGX)
* OpenGL 1.3 for Solaris or later. To find your current version,
use: "pkginfo -l SUNWglrt". OpenGL for Solaris can be obtained at:
http://www.sun.com/software/graphics/opengl/

I keep getting the following error on just running an example. I
searched the Internet and cannot find any error with "Java 3D ERROR:
unable to get VisualID". Please help if you encountered this problem
before.

Java 3D ERROR: unable to get VisualID
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException: Canvas3D:
