Intel 965GM/X3100 FREEZES w/Java3D - Expert Advice

I have no idea why, but ANY program that uses Java 3d completely freezes up my Suse 11.0/x86 - Intel 965GM laptop. This ALWAYS happens when starting or going fullscreen. X windows freezes. I have all the latest packages installed on my laptop via several Repositories(openSuse & Packman). I checked all the relations to Java3d and re-installed all of them. I also deleted my /etc/X11/xorg.conf, and had SAX2 create a new file. SAME DEAL! This really sucks. Hopefully there is someone on this board who is very good, and knows what to look for/do. Cannot use, “makehuman”, or “SweetHome3D”.

Thanks for any & all help.

This FAQ seems to say it is or once was a KNOWN problem on Linux:
Minueto FAQ

[Rather than just saying ‘latest from repos’, you should be stating
explicitly which version of JRE you have, as there are multiple vendors/choices there]

Java3d - 1.5.2-0.pm.1
JRE - 1_6_0 > Version 1.6.0.u7-1.3

I check for/update every package on my laptop every week.

Thanks
