Thank you for your help on this matter. I have tried with the environment variables you suggested and it seems the issue is elsewhere. Fluent seems to understand it has to use the opengl driver either with the parameters in the launcher or with the VGL_GLXVENDOR variable but the graphics is still not displayed.
I will test the beta version as soon as possible when the machine will be available for testing.
