[vtk-developers] [EXTERNAL] Ubuntu 14.04 OpenGL

[Geoff Wright]

Hi Bill,

If you have an nvidia graphics card then I would recommend using the
graphics-drivers ppa. You can install the latest nvidia-3## package from
here, e.g.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nvidia-355
