My builds and at some others are run with an offscreen X server such as
Xvfb or vncserver.

As I understand it this will not work with hardware acceleration. Since
I'm mostly interested in working offscreen anyway this is fine for me.
My VTK and ParaView builds are linked against a build of Mesa from the
git repository.

my crontab looks like :

  $ crontab -l
  00 00 * * * /home/kevin/update_kitware.sh

update_kitware.sh ( heavily edited ) looks like :

  #!/bin/bash
  CTEST=/home/kevin/kitware/CMake_Build/bin/ctest
  vncserver :99 -geometry 1280x1024 -depth 24  > vncserver.txt 	2>&1 &
  export DISPLAY=:99

  # Update Mesa
  # Update CMake
  # Update VTKData

  # Update VTK ( Mesa )
  echo "Update VTK ( Mesa )"
  cd /home/kevin/kitware/
  time $CTEST  -S vtk.cmake
  date

  # Update VTK ( nvidia ) Not tested
  # Update ParaViewData
  # Update ParView ( Mesa )
  # Update ParaView ( nvidia ) Not tested
  # Update ITK

  vncserver -kill :99
