First the Cone example is supposed to close the window after animation
is displayed. If you see a rotating cone on the screen before window
closes. The example works fine.
The "...XFree86-DRI..." message is more of a warning then an error and
is most likely not related to VTK. I have a Fedora 1 Linux system with
NVidia card. Every time XFree86 libraries are updated this message comes
back (just got it again). This seems to be caused by some mismatch
between XFree86 and NVidia driver (from NVidia.com). There is more info
on that on Fedora or RedHat mailing lists. An "easy" fix is to force
reinstall of the NVidia driver using command:
$ nvidia-installer -f
This needs to be done as root and with X windows shut down. If this does
not work for in your case, you need to check Fedora or RedHat mailing
list, or whatever OS you are using, for alternative approaches.
