First, props to Mathieu, Andy, Jimmy, Maik, Linnenkohl, Vyger, et al. who put up the VTK_OpenGL wiki entries.<br><br>I compiled and the CVS version of VTK from last weekend on my Mepis (based on Ubuntu Dapper) distribution. When I run Cone examples 1-3, they seem to work fine, but Cone examples 4-6 have a window with a correct background, but no visible cones. There are no errors in the console. Here is what I am working on:
<br><br>Pentium4 Dell Dimension 4700<br><a href="http://2.6.19.2">2.6.19.2</a> kernel<br>Graphics card:<br> description: VGA compatible controller<br> product: 82915G/GV/910GL Express Chipset Family Graphics Controller
<br> vendor: Intel Corporation <br><br>I have the packages version 6.4.1-0ubuntu8 installed of the following<br>libgl1-mesa<br>libgl1-mesa-dev<br>libgl1-mesa-dri<br>libglu1-mesa<br>libglu1-mesa-dev<br><br>As suggested in the wiki, I downloaded and compiled
MesaLib-6.5.2 and enabled VTK_OPENGL_HAS_OSMESA for a vtk build. All Cone examples work, though it is much slower.<br><br>I also compiled under Cygwin, and hardware rendering worked for all Cone examples there.<br><br>Tried compiling the .so for
MesaLib-6.5.2 and entered the path at OPENGL_gl_LIBRARY, OPENGL_glu_LIBRARY, OPENGL_INCLUDE_DIR, OPENGL_xmesa_INCLUDE_DIR. It worked, but was slow even though VTK_OPENGL_HAS_OSMESA was OFF.<br><br>Thanks for any suggestions and incites.
