Hello John,<br><br>
There is no error message if you create a vtkVolumeProMapper - that
always works but does not produce any results unless one of the
subclasses is compiled. When you use a VolumePro mapper you should always
check the NoHardware, WrongVLIVersion, and NumberOfBoards ivars to see if
everything is OK for rendering. <br><br>
This class was removed because the hardware and drivers are quite old
now, and we cannot continue to test this class. Perhaps this was
announced on the developer's list, I'm not sure. <br><br>

put back VG500, as it has been removed:<br><br>
