Another thought - just try the precompiled RC2 binaries and see what the difference is.
I also agree with checking the driver, the last issue I had was caused by this (an upgrade fixed it). For the list - are there any debug options that make ParaView print/log what it is doing? E.g. export DEBUG_INFO=TRUE There seems to be a few instances like this where something goes wrong and there is no information. Even if there isn't ParaView should make use of the QStatusBar to give some hints.
