All,

Was half way through writing an email and then I solved the problem - so 
sharing anyway just in case it saves someone else some pain ;)

We have MATLAB r2014a running fine but I get the following when running r2014b 
the same way and using an opengl command (e.g. "patch")...

vglrun matlab 
MATLAB is selecting SOFTWARE OPENGL rendering.
[VGL] WARNING: The OpenGL rendering context obtained on X display
[VGL] :0 is indirect, which may cause performance to suffer.
[VGL] If :0 is a local X display, then the framebuffer device
[VGL] permissions may be set incorrectly.
[VGL] ERROR: glXCreateContextAttribsARB symbol not loaded


The problem is that MATLAB r2014b tries to detect the GPU and gets confused by 
the multiple display. The solution was found my reading the matlab start up 
script and finding the -nosoftwareopengl option. So the following works :)

vglrun matlab -nosoftwareopengl

Cheers,

Paul
