[vtk-developers] Failing dashboard tests

[Sankhesh Jhaveri]

Thank you all for the insights.
I managed to reduce the number of failing tests simply by switching to
the open source display driver from xserver-xorg-video-ati. While
looking into the MPI issue, I found that I had two different versions
(openmpi and mpich2) installed on the machine. Removing mpich2 got rid
of the failing tests as well. There are still some image mismatch
failures (http://open.cdash.org/viewTest.php?onlyfailed&buildid=3114530)
that need to be looked into.

Thank you again.

What about the other tests? Are they failing because of graphics card issues? Should they be suppressed? Or are there changes in VTK code required?
