Regarding your other issues... I have an Intel Core i3 Haswell NUC, and I
had all sorts of issues with Software and OpenGL Profiles.... What finally
fixed it for me was:.
1. New Install Of Xubuntu 14.04
2. Turn Off Display Compositing for Xubuntu
3. Install the Intel Drivers/Xorg Driver/Mesa from the
ppa:oibaf/graphics-drivers
repository. (

After this OpenGL High runs awesome for me.
