[vtk-developers] volTM2DRotateClip recurring test failures

Is there a call we can add at screen grab time to make sure we're properly waiting for all pending/queued output? (Or are we making it already, and this is really a symptom of a bad graphics driver...?)

This test has been failing on certain platforms for at least
five years or so.  The test does a bit of animation, and the
test harness seems to capture the image at the wrong time,
i.e. the captured image is not actually the final image shown
by the test.

Is there any possibility that the image is being captured
before the final SwapBuffers has taken effect?  I mean,
if the graphics card has to process all vertexes and fragments
and then wait for the next vblank before swapping
the buffers, is it possible that the screen grab might grab
the screen before the swap has actually taken effect?
Especially for a test like this that has a huge number of
textures?
