I installed the drivers using the System Settings->Additional Drivers window.

By means of glxinfo,
(version 173-updates) is 2.1.2 NVIDIA 173.14.30
(version current-updates) is 3.3.0 NVIDIA 280.13

I guess Ubuntu's "current" is not the latest driver and Ubuntu needs to do more OpenGL testing.  They sure don't make supporting an application easy.

I guess at the moment I'll stick with 173.  It would be nice to get it working on the the other drivers.  But, I do think it is now out of JOGL's hands.

Thanks for your help!
