MATLAB R2017a, X2Go, and hardware OpenGL

I have a server running RHEL 7.4 with an NVIDIA GTX 1080. At the console itself, I can startx and launch MATLAB with hardware OpenGL. If I launch MATLAB on my Windows desktop PC via Cygwin, I can also get hardware OpenGL, via the graphics card on my desktop PC.

The specific functionality I'm shooting for is hardware OpenGL when running MATLAB in X2Go NX session. I can use X2Go to establish a KDE session with the server and I can launch MATLAB, but "opengl info" causes MATLAB to crash with "MATLAB has encountered an internal problem and needs to close".

Thoughts?

Thanks!

I have encountered failures as well. The test can be as simple as starting matlab 2017 or 2018 and grabbing the window, then just move the mouse around vigorously until it crashes. This will result in the X2Go session crashing.
