Richard,
You will get this warning/error message on any OS X machine using
ATI/AMD graphics hardware running OS X 10.10 or earlier. OS X 10.11
corrected an OpenGL driver issue that this error is reporting. It is
down in the VTK stack. I do not know if we should be worried or not
about the warning/error.

I have the following message from one of my local ParaView users:
Following is the message I am getting with the Paraview 5 client on
the Mac. It appears to work in spite of this warning.
Warning: In
/Users/kitware/buildbot-slave/paraview-bigmac-osx-shared-release_opengl2_osx10_7_qt4_superbuild/build/paraview/src/paraview/VTK/Rendering/OpenGL2/vtkOpenGLPolyDataMapper.cxx,
line 2856
vtkCompositeMapperHelper (0x7fbc4b0e7800): VTK is working around a bug
in Apple-AMD hardware related to gl_PrimitiveID. This may cause
significant memory and performance impacts. Your hardware has been
identified as vendor ATI Technologies Inc. with renderer of ATI Radeon
HD 5770 OpenGL Engine and version 4.1 ATI-1.24.39
About this Mac has the following information about my system:
*Graphics* ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024 MB
The user does not see this error running ParaView 4.x.x …
so – presumably this warning message is related to OpenGL2 running on
an older graphics card??? Is this something we should be worried
about in the short-term? I’m not sure how much longer this older Mac
will be in service – but will we run in to issues with OpenGL2 which
will preclude it from working on these older systems?
