Hi,

I am a developer on Computational Model builder
<http://www.computationalmodelbuilder.org/> which is a project depends on
ParaView. Recently CMB-superbuild is bumped to use ParaView 5.3.0. However,
it is not happy with OpenGL drivers on Ubuntu 16.04 and I also find that I
cannot use *"opacity" and "slice" operations in ParaView*. After some test
and trial, I found this solution:

```type these terminal

apt-add-repository ppa:oibaf/graphics-drivers

apt-get update

apt-get dist-upgrade
```

It perfectly solves the problem.
