title: Is it possible to enable hardware acceleration with Java FX on Windows 2008 server?
body: <p>As discussed <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14566379/is-there-a-way-to-detect-if-java-fx-is-using-hardware-acceleration">in this question</a>, it's possible to detect whether Java FX is using hardware acceleration by passing <code>-Dprism.verbose=true</code> as a system property. When I do this on my Java FX app on Windows 2008 Server R2, it is apparently falling back to the software rendering:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Prism pipeline init order: d3d j2d
  Using t2k for text rasterization
  Using dirty region optimizations
  Prism pipeline name = com.sun.prism.d3d.D3DPipeline
  Loading D3D native library ...
          succeeded.
  Direct3D initialization failed
  Wrong operating system version
  (X) Got class = class com.sun.prism.d3d.D3DPipeline
  GraphicsPipeline.createPipeline: error initializing pipeline com.sun.prism.d3d.D3DPipeline
  *** Fallback to Prism SW pipeline
  Prism pipeline name = com.sun.prism.j2d.J2DPipeline
  (X) Got class = class com.sun.prism.j2d.J2DPipeline
  Initialized prism pipeline: com.sun.prism.j2d.J2DPipeline
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>My question is, is it possible to force hardware acceleration, say by fooling JFX into thinking I have a different operating system? I'm hoping it might Just Work if I could bypass the OS check somehow.</p>
