I don't see where you mentioned which distribution you are actually
using?

You might also try a different Linux distribution, and/or try a
different application. Of course this is gettign away from
vtk-specifics! But maybe it is the distro's graphi setup that's the
problem.



Try for example a pure:dyne live cd and see if the pure-data library
'gem' can display a gl teapot example properly ? (example basic 09 comes
with gem) http://puredyne.goto10.org/wiki/GetPureDyne
