Thank you guys for taking a look at the wiki page.

awesome! for the PV dashboard with llvmpipe 9.2.2 the tests failing 
aren't rendering related  which is very nice. for the VTK dashboards 
there's a mix of issues which appear to be Mesa bugs. If we have time we 
could report them to mesa developers. Here's the list from the rocky 
nightly dashboard.

I think this is a Mesa bug but could be fixed by adding a baseline.
vtkViewsInfovisCxx-TestConeLayoutStrategy 
<http://open.cdash.org/testSummary.php?project=11&name=vtkViewsInfovisCxx-TestConeLayoutStrategy&date=2013-11-26>

630ms 	Completed (Failed)


This is the only one that's not a Mesa bug. the test needs to check an 
IsSupported method and skip if not. see test output for more info.

in these mesa crashes, probably just disable them.

these are more general mesa rendering bugs, not sure if they could be 
tweaked to work or just need to  be disabled.
