[Paraview] Paraview 3.1.0 / "Save Screenshot" error Linux

[Alexander Jarosch]

Hello Everybody,

I am new to the list. I compiled Paraview 3.1.0 from source today on my
gentoo linux, since the binaries from the homepage were not able to save
a screenshot. I still get this error upon export:

X Error: GLXBadContext 166
  Extension:    146 (Uknown extension)
  Minor opcode: 5 (Unknown request)
  Resource id:  0x402f6d
X Error: GLXBadContext 166
  Extension:    146 (Uknown extension)
  Minor opcode: 5 (Unknown request)
  Resource id:  0x40001a
.... (lots more)

Paraview writes to the file, in my case a png, but when I open the png,
only random color lines appear, not the actual screenshot.

Currently Xorg-7.3 is on my System and mesa 6.5.2. It looks like a GLX
bug, but it's the first time I see it and this was when using paraview.

Can anybody help or has experienced this?

Cheers,

Alex
