OpenGL acceleration issues in artixlinux (arch based distro)

Hi,

I am trying to get hwd acceleration to work in matlab on my artixlinux system. But no matter what i try matlab switches openGL to "software"

Following the steps from archlinux i get,

 glxinfo | grep "direct rendering"
 direct rendering: Yes 

Then i check if matlab is using hwd acceleration

 matlab -nodesktop -nosplash -r "opengl info; exit" | grep Software
 Software: 'true'

So glxinfo is working but not matlab, then i perform

 export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libstdc++.so; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/xorg/modules/dri/; matlab -nodesktop -nosplash -r "opengl info; exit" | grep Software
MATLAB has experienced a low-level graphics error, and may not have drawn correctly.
Read about what you can do to prevent this issue by running this command: opengl problems,
then restart MATLAB.

Everytime i install MATLAB in linux i get lots of errors related to java and OpenGl hwd acceleration. Is it possible to solve these issues for once at all? I mean i would like to use hwd accelaration in order to enhance graphical performance.
