setFullScreenWindow exception: Could not get display mode

[Timothy Chen Allen]

I am trying to set full screen mode. Here is a simple version of my code which causes the problem:

import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
public class FullScreen {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    new FullScreen().go();
  }
  public void go() {
    JFrame window = new JFrame();
    GraphicsEnvironment environment = 
      GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment();
    GraphicsDevice device = environment.getDefaultScreenDevice();
    device.setFullScreenWindow(window);
    try {
      Thread.sleep(500);
    } catch (InterruptedException ex) {
      System.out.println(ex);
    } finally {
      device.setFullScreenWindow(null);
    }
  }
}

This code gets causes this exception:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.InternalError: Could not get display mode
        at sun.awt.Win32GraphicsDevice.getCurrentDisplayMode(Native Method)
        at sun.awt.Win32GraphicsDevice.getDisplayMode(Win32GraphicsDevice.java:329)

My version of the SDK is J2EE 1.4.2, and my runtime is:

java version "1.4.2"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2-b28)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2-b28, mixed mode)

My video card is a Trident Video Accelerator Blade 3D/MVP4. I'm using Windows XP Home edition.
Has anyone else gotten this exception? Is there a workaround? Thanks in advance.
