| Description |
|
When starting Minecraft on Linux with an external monitor connected and the internal screen disabled (e.g. a docked notebook), the game crashes before showing anything using OpenGL. The login screen works fine. The stack trace is: I'm pretty sure that the problem is the version of lwjgl shipped with Minecraft, as it doesn't happen when manually copying an updated jar and native binary to the .minecraft directory with the exact same setup. So I guess updating lwjgl (at least for Linux) should be enough to fix this. |

Manually updating LWJGL solved the issue for me too. |

http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/53709-solved-black-screen-after-login-ubuntu-1010/ That's from 2010, and still no updated LWGL? Minecraft 1.5.1 (vanilla) and I still have this issue. Updating to LWGL 2.8.5 (from November 2012) fixed this issue for me. |

Yes Mojang is well aware of the fact that they are using an old LWJGL version and will update as soon as possible, until then please update LWJGL manually. |

When they rewrite the rendering engine (http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Redstone_Update#Rendering_engine_rewrite) they should consider updating to a more recent version of LWJGL that fixes this. |

I can confirm this on Debian wheezy for 1.4.6-pre. |

Is this still a concern in the current Minecraft version? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases. |

I also started experiencing this error. Ryan Lerch's linked to fix of updating lwjgl worked for me as well |

I can confirm that i also encounter this issue on Fedora 17 and Fedora 18. following the following directions from comment #8 here fixed the issue for me: Although i updated lwjgl to the most recent stable release, (lwjgl-2.8.5), following these directions updated it and now works when more than one monitor is connected on Linux. Is there any way to get lwjgl updated in the minecraft launcher? |
