This sounds similar to our problems on Fedora machines with Livna nvidia
drivers at the Surgical Planning Laboratory. glxgears would run fine, but
SCIRun was not finding the correct drivers and would crash on opening
anything OpenGL dependent. I am just an MD end user, and most of this is
based on what the SCI folks have given me, so I defer to them.
That said it might be worth checking the following:
when you cd to SCIRun/bin and run:
ldd scirun | grep GL
What do you get....it should point to the intel/i810 drivers...if it does not
then you might have a similar problem to what we faced...
We worked around SCIRun finding the wrong drivers (MESA rather than the
accelerated ones) by pointing it to the correct drivers as specified here
(the script is not visible from the outside SPL, but might be something to
point the SCI guys to).
I may be off base and defer to the SCI experts, but it sounds similar to the
problem we were having.

I have had not had trouble with ubuntu/nvidia but have never used it with an
integrated graphics card.
Good luck,

Subject: [SCIRUN-USERS] RE: Visualization window crashes after compilation
Tried updating the driver from 'i810' to 'intel', which appears to be more
recent.
I'm not sure I did it right, but did it using the Adept Package manager.
When I selected 'intel' to install, it automatically uninstalled i810. So far
so good, but when I opened the KDE system settings to confirm that the driver
had changed under 'monitor and settings' -> 'hardware', it still said 'i810'.
Editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf to change the driver manually from i810 to intel
did not change anything.
Running
sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-org
and reconfiguring with curses-style interface changed neither the SCIRun
functionality or the video driver listed in KDE 'System Settings'.
The silver lining is that glxgears still works :[
Thanks for the ideas
