I uninstalled 11.2, installed 12.3, installed the 3/11 DM and gives me the original Java error I posted originally. Back to the Jan 23rd DM and 11.2 for now. I have the error file if you want it.
Yeah, but you didn't rebuild your kernel module and reboot with it. 12.1 and up use a new one, I think AMD screwed up because Catalyst usually refuses to start up with any HW accel features if the wrong kernel module is loaded, 12.1 don't follow that behavior and its confusing for users.
Actually I think I did. As soon as I get a chance I'll go redo it again.
