[vtkusers] Loosing VTK display: XFree86 guru needed

[Jeff Lee]

I've seen this problem when vtk accidentally links against both static 
and dynamic libGL.  this can happen if libGL sits in /usr/lib and in 
/usr/X11R6/lib and if your CMakeCache.txt is pointing at both 
directories.  if this is true, just make a link in 
/usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so to /usr/lib/libGL.so and relink the libs.  or, 
it could be something else.
