Re: VTK + fglrx



Although I am not a paraview user could you point to some data files and a
quick howto that would allow us to really stress paraview?  To be honest
running lots of applications out of the box, without knowing the software
always makes for lot's of challenges...

Matt

Just for history, here are the ways I found to use VTK and fglrx.

1. Comment the line "Load dri" or turn the no_dri to true:

[fglrx config]
Option "no_dri" "yes"

2. Using clone mode apparently remove dri


Doesn't turning off DRI turn off 3D acceleration?


3. export LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1 before starting the app.


And from what I've read, indirect mode also turns off 3D acceleration.
There has been some discussion on the XOrg lists about indirect 3D
acceleration, but it isn't implemented yet.



Well my whole point was to get VTK/ParaView to work on ATI. Unless you 
trick the compilation to use Mesa and play with LD_PRELOAD, the 
solutions I proposed were only to help simple user that want both VTK 
and 3D acceleration in, let say, glxgears...
