This system is still running 10.9 and is scheduled for a 10.11 upgrade in the 
near-term – presumably the warning message will go away with 10.11 …….

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?
