[Paraview-developers] ParaView & Mangled Mesa (also Ice-T)

[Berk Geveci]

I was tracking down bug #1784. After fixing a problem with the command line 
arguments, I still couldn't get it to work. Digging into the code further, I 
found that the problem is the fact that paraview creates a vtkIceTRenderer on 
the server. vtkIceTRenderer is a sub-class of vtkOpenGLRenderer and does not 
support mangled mesa. The only way I can think of fixing this problem is to 
create a vtkMesaIceTRenderer (a al vtkMesaRenderer) and delegate the 
instantiation of IceT renderer to a factory. Any comments? Volunteers?
