How to deactivate Matlab GUI in Linux?

When I fire up the Matlab command it starts with the following message

-bash-4.2$ matlab
MATLAB is selecting SOFTWARE OPENGL rendering.

                                                    < M A T L A B (R) >

Wodering if there is a way this OPENGL rendering can be deactivated?

opengl SAVE HARDWARE

and then restart MATLAB.

However, I notice you are on Linux. To use hardware OpenGL, your system would need to have vendor OpenGL drivers installed.

I did the following

-bash-4.2$ matlab
MATLAB is selecting SOFTWARE OPENGL rendering.

                                                                          < M A T L A B (R) >

>> opengl SAVE HARDWARE

But the message "MATLAB is selecting SOFTWARE OPENGL rendering." keeps coming back opengl info prints the following

>> opengl info
                          Version: ''
                           Vendor: ''

You need to have the vendor OpenGL drivers installed for Linux, I believe.

[Sambit Tripathy]

Will this be Hardware vendor or from Red Hat?

[Walter Roberson]

Hardware vendor.

At the moment, MATLAB doesn't even know which hardware you are using.
