[Paraview] slow (broken?) volume rendering in 3.4.0 (Fedora 10)

[Scott, W Alan]

Mike,
This is a known problem with ParaView 3.4.0.  The next version of ParaView should have much more robust volume rendering.

Volume rendering is (mostly) clean in the trunk.  You can build a version of your own (see the ParaView web site wiki - http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView, then building and installing instructions) for details.

I'm having trouble with volume rendering, using the tutorial dataset "disk_out_ref.ex2".
 From the dataset, I selected the "Temp" variable, and the "Volume" 
representation.
The application then seems to nearly hang, except for occasional updates of a progress bar which says "OpenGLProjectTetrahedraMapper: <n>" where <n> appears to be a
percent complete indicator.   It eventually gets to 100, but then just 
starts over again
at 1.  Each cycle takes about 5 minutes and never ends.  I have to force quit the application to get out of it.

My system is Intel Core 2 Duo,  64-bit Fedora 10, with an ATI 4850 graphics card.
I installed  paraview from the Fedora repository using yum.  Paraview version is 3.4.0.
I'm not using a remote server.

Mike
