Hi Rob,

 I googled this mapping error, and this link might provide you some information 
and solution:

http://forum.jogamp.org/Error-mapping-GL4bc-td4038221.html

But if you happy with the intel graphics, it should be ok. Next time, remember 
the nvidia grpahics card should
be the one to be selected.
