OK, so my Ubuntu 10.04 virtual machine runs in VirtualBox 3.2.8, Mac OS X host.

I tried glxinfo and glxgears in Octave but they did not work, here is the output:

octave:1> pkg load jhandles
warning: mark! _as_command is obsolete and will be removed from a future version of Octave
octave:2> glxinfo
error: `glxinfo' undefined near line 2 column 1
octave:2> glxgears
error: `glxgears' undefined near line 2 column 1

The copy of jogl I got is from the repository, installed with Synaptic.

I also tried the program you linked at:

http://download.java.net/media/jogl/builds/archive/jsr-231-webstart-current/Gears.jnlp

After downloading and running a few files, it showed an empty window. I assume there should be more than that?

Is there hope for me still? :)
