Check out bug 4737013
- REGRESSION: SimpleUniverse.getPreferredConfiguration() returns NULL on
Matrox

This is because the default GraphicsConfigTemplate3D

 /**
    * Constructs a GraphicsConfigTemplate3D object with default parameters.
    * The default values are as follows:
    * <ul>
    * depthSize : 16<br>
    * doubleBuffer : REQUIRED<br>
    * sceneAntialiasing : UNNECESSARY<br>
    * stereo : UNNECESSARY<br>
    * redSize : 2<br>
    * greenSize : 2<br>
    * blueSize : 2<br>
    * </ul>
    */

is not good for Matrox card. Some customer suggest using

setDepthSize(0)
in GraphicsConfigTemplate3D to workaround driver bug.

Also try different color display mode for this graphics card
to see which one works better without setting DepthSize(0)

Thanks.
