[Paraview] OpenGL inside VMWare virtual machine

Question not any more relevant: setting an environment variable before
starting paraview does indeed the trick: it works now indeed as
expected!

Thanks and regards,
Cornelis

with the gpu_shader4 extension is not supported by your graphics
driver but is required for the new OpenGL rendering backend.
Please update your OpenGL driver. If you are using Mesa please
make sure you have version 10.6.5 or later and make sure your
driver in Mesa supports OpenGL 3.2.
