I am running Ubuntu 14.04 (64 bot) and have OpenGL support, X11 etc installed.
I am running R 3.2 and am trying to use RGL. This worked fine on my other installation

I am able to install the RGL package without any error messages from CRAN using either R, RStudio or Ubuntu Synaptic Manager.

However when I open a 3d device using open3d() a device appears, but with corrupted contents.

I am able to use other programs that use the OPENGL such as Stellarium.

The following packages are all present.

mesa-common-dev
libglu1-mesa
libglu1-mesa-dev
freeglut3-dev

The machine is an HP ENVY with Intel Broadwell graphics
A previous similar installation on a MSI machine works fine with similar display resolution (1920x1080).

Any thoughts on how to fix this would be gratefully received.
