Hardware acceleration on Fedora 28 (Matlab seems to misidentify driver)

I am runniing matlab 2017b on a laptop with an Intel UHD 620 integrated video card and Fedora 28.

When I run opengl info I get the following report:

                          Version: '2.1 Mesa 10.5.2'
                           Vendor: 'Brian Paul'
                         Renderer: 'Mesa X11'
                   MaxTextureSize: 16384
                           Visual: 'Visual 0x55, (RGBA 32 bits (8 8 8 8), Z depth 16 bits, Hardware acceleration, Double buffer, Antialias 0 samples)'
                         Software: 'true'
             HardwareSupportLevel: 'none (known graphics driver issues)'
        SupportsGraphicsSmoothing: 0
    SupportsDepthPeelTransparency: 1
       SupportsAlignVertexCenters: 0
                       Extensions: {151×1 cell}
               MaxFrameBufferSize: 16384

But since I have Mesa 18.0.5 installed video driver (reported as 10.5.2) seems rather ancient. How can I update the video driver to somehting newer that matlab will hopefully use for hardware acceleration?

It seems that Matlab is misidentifying the driver. when I run glxinfo, I get

$ glxinfo | grep "OpenGL version" 
   OpenGL version string: 3.0 Mesa 18.0.5

Installing Matlab 18a resolved the issue, hardware acceleration works now :)
