[vtkusers] undefined reference to `XF86VidModeQueryVersion' on Ubuntu

[Juan José Aja Fernández]

Hi everyone,

I've been using VTK for a while now, I've installed it several times
and didn't have mayor problems.
Recently I decided to change from RedHat 9 to Ubuntu Linux, when I
tried to compile the CVS version of VTK some errors while building
elements in the Testing/ folder appeared:

VTK/bin/libvtkRendering.so: undefined reference to `XF86VidModeQueryVersion'
/VTK/bin/libvtkRendering.so: undefined reference to `XF86VidModeGetModeLine'


So I decided to disable the building of the Testing programs and the
compilation went along. By the time it was finished I tried to run
some of the code that worked in RH9 but the same errors appeared.

I guess it's a problem that Ubuntu uses Xorg instead of XFree86, but I
posted the same question on the ubuntu forums with no luck.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

Juan.
