Matrox Graphics Cards Problems

[Anirvan Sarkar]

Hi Matthew,

OpenGL pipeline on Windows is not a supported configuration and so it is
not present in JavaFX for Windows[1][2].
You would have to build JavaFX yourself to include this pipeline and "use
it at your own risk". It may or may not work.
Also it looks like the card should support OpenGL 2.1 or later[3].
