Thanks for the tip, but all packages related to Mesa are already installed. See below.

Another solution may be to download/install Mesa
(http://www.mesa3d.org/) and then set your LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the mesa
libraries before starting ParaView. That way you'll be doing software
rendering without having to deal with the driver issues.
