Hello Lisa,
Addition:
The development kit for the VolumePro would be available for Linux in
February 2000!!!
It should be at the same price as the Windows NT and Solaris version.
Educational institutions get a 25% rebate (as I remember right). I have
to search my mail archive at home.
Second:
I've checked the VolView-1.1 with the upcoming XFree86 4.x (prerelease
3.9.17 for the 3dfx Banshee/Voodoo3) together with the Direct rendering
Infrastructure (DRI). The DRI comes with full OpenGL compatible 3D
graphic support (SGI GLX and Mesa). That mean we get full accelerated 3D
graphics on every Un*x with unlimited OpenGL contexts. I am involved in
the beta test and development process of the XFree86 4.x drivers for the
3dfx graphics cards. At least in February/March we will see a next step
into 3D graphics on PC's (~1.4 Gigapixel (for the beginning), FAA,
motion blur, depth of field, Open Source texture compression, 32 bpp, 24
bit floating point depth buffer (z or w).
Please have a look at the following sites:
http://www.precisioninsight.com/
http://www.xfree86.org/snapshots/
http://linux.3dfx.com/
http://www.3dfx.com/ (products/Voodoo5 6000 AGP)
Here are my results.
System was:
AMD Athlon 550
MSI MS-6167 Rev. 1.0b
256 MB PC 100 SDRAM
Voodoo3 3000 (@ 16 bpp, limitation for this hardware only; not for the
VSA-100 chip and driver!)
Kernel 2.3.39
glibc-2.1.2 (RH 6.1)
We tract this down to the point that this is NOT Mesa-3.1/3.2/CVS or DRI
related!
Our problem is that we do not know which OpenGL (or the like) library
are you using for the VolView builds. Are you using Accelerated X OpenGL
for compiling? MetroLink? Mesa?
Maybe it is glibc-2.0.7 (your RH 5.2 system) vs. glibc-2.1 (2.1.2 is
preferable) related.
I would ask you if you can switch your VTK Linux test system to at least
RH 6.1/SuSE 6.3/etc., please?

Thank you very much for all your time working on VTK and visualization
in general.
Yours sincerely,
