[IDV #UNG-843263]: Could not create a graphics configuration

Here is a similar issue dealing with an NVidia driver:

Otherwise, I know this is a lame answer, but you can look at this:

The problem is that this is a difficult issue to debug remotely, but is clearly 
related to Java 3Ds interaction with the Linux video driver.

Sorry I am not able to be more helpful.
