Al this looks fine.

I see. It seems your build works fine but we should have authomatically
pass that option and now show the option in ParaView at all.
When you run through EGL there is no X involved. Opening an X display as
this test does probably screws up things.

You can also try (with this option passed as you have done) to see what is
shown in:
Help, About, Connection Information, OpenGL Renderer.

It is interesting that I have not seen this problem. I tested on a machine
that was already running X. Maybe this made a difference.
I will file a bug report as it makes sense to disable the xdisplay test.
