This was on the VTK users mailing list:


Have you tried what I suggested? Commenting out the offscreen lines? It
would be helpful in tracing the problem. I didn't get around to compiling
ParaView 2 on my new Mac yet. I should get around to it next week or so.

Just to complain...

This bug crashes X11 outright on MacOS-X (Darwin) 10.4.7

Crash log attached.

[Apple has a handy-dandy bug reporter which fires off every time an
application goes down.  I've been using this lots.]

Try editing Servers/ServerManager/vtkSMRenderModuleProxy.cxx and
commenting out this line (around line 1112)
  this->GetRenderWindow()->SetOffScreenRendering(1);
and this line:
  this->GetRenderWindow()->SetOffScreenRendering(0);
around line 1129.
I have seen this problem before. I think it is due to an OpenGL
driver/implementation bug.
