Haswell - unable to initialise OpenGL

[Anton Shterenlikht]

I'm trying to launch a graphical program via ssh -X.
While 2D graphics works, when I try to launch a 3D visualisation,
I get this error:

Unable to initialize OpenGL:

I used to get this error on a laptop with
an old Nvidia driver. I was told by my
cluster admin that I need to update my
graphics driver. However, after switching
to a new system with Haswell, I seem to
be getting the same error.

Please advise

Thanks
