You seem to have OpenGL. However, the fact that glxgears is not showing anything either is making me think that you OpenGL drivers are not working properly. I don't have a lot of experience on Linux OpenGL drivers, other than nVidia ones. Unless someone else here has an answer, you will have to go to a Linux/X11/OpenGL related mailing list. You can also try updating your Linux distribution or installing another one... -berk On Sat, Mar 14, 2009 at 6:24 AM, Hugo Gagnon hugo.gagn...@mail.mcgill.ca wrote: See below for xdpyinfo's output.

Another solution may be to download/install Mesa (http://www.mesa3d.org/) and then set your LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the mesa libraries before starting ParaView. That way you'll be doing software rendering without having to deal with the driver issues. Utkarsh On Sat, Mar 14, 2009 at 7:48 AM, Berk Geveci berk.gev...@kitware.com wrote: You seem to have OpenGL.
