[vtkusers] VTK 5.6 on OS X 10.6 with Python and X11

Hi,

I did a fresh compilation of Fink in which Fink's Python 2.6 works properly
with X11, Fink's VTK 5.6 and Fink's Tcl/Tk 8.5.
Now my goal is to get my Python software work on any OS X 10.6 just by
copying a package of my own in "/Applications".

To test the binary portability of the Fink's Python-X11-VTK-TK, I did a copy
of my previously compiled Fink installation on several workstations which
have various hardware (GeForce and Quadro but no ATI GPUs).
My software works correctly on all GeForce workstations, but on Quadro
workstations it has a very slow execution when doing some graphical
movement... It's like it doesn't use the GPU acceleration (100% of one CPU
core compared to 10% on other workstations).

Could it be a hardware optimisation problem ?

Regards,
Rafael.

PS : I'll test to compile Fink's Python-X11-VTK-TCLTK on a Quadro
workstation.
