Hi Dave,<div>Are you suggesting that we don't need to use mesa for offscreen rendering if our graphics cards support it?</div><div>This is what I thought but the example for this (these are pretty new, correct?) still uses Mesa:</div>

<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">I recommend against venturing down the mangled mesa path. First, its<br>
main use, that of providing offscreen rendering to supplement GPUs<br>
that lack it, is mostly obviated by recent GPUs. If your cards still<br>
lack support, it is far better to use Mesa's own OSMesa library.<br>
Secondly, neither the mesa nor VTK communities have supported it in<br>
several years.<br>
