I think the rule of thumb (at least as I learned it)
is that object graphics programs should never use backing
store anyway, since it is completely redundant. :-)

It's working fine now!!
in fact as I need the mouse events in the window area I was using the
Widget_draw fonction (with Graphic level=2) to create the window.
The problem is I was using Retain = 2 witch dissable the hardware
rendering!!!
Does anyone knows how to have a Backing store and use the hardware
rendering under windows?
Thank you very much for your help.
P.s: The last detonator 40.41 seen to work without any problem under
IDL 5.5

Yes, you can. This may seem obvious but you need to render to a window (not
a buffer) to use the card's AA. Double check that you have hardware
rendering enabled in IDL. You also have to restart IDL after making changes
to the AA settings.
An east test would be to throw a wireframe orb into xobview and zoom in:
orb = obj_new('orb', color=[0,0,255], radius=1.0, style=1)
xobjview, orb, /block
obj_destroy, orb

This one is more difficult. In the past I have run into detonator versions
where AA didn't work in IDL (it *would* work in other OpenGL apps). This
was also around the time that I was experimenting with shutter glasses (no
idea if there is a connection). I haven't had a problem with the newer
drivers but I have also ditched the shutter glasses. Again, one wouldn't
think there would be a connection, but...
I would try uninstalling your current drivers, reinstalling at least the
30.82 drivers and do not install the shutter glasses driver. Then turn AA
on and give things a try.
