Summary0002704: SNL: MAC client not getting correct visual
DescriptionThere seems to be an issue with Sandia's MAC client. The stand alone works fine but the client does not get the correct visual and then of course looks dorky. This is not a Kitware issue at this point. :)

Berk, does kitware have a MAC they can test this on. Ken has reproduced this problem on his MAC but Thompson says he cannot.

I would like to check this into the 2.4 branch.

This may take 2 days. It is not clear as to what the problem is right now. We can't reproduce it. We built here and it runs fine.

A-ha! The problem is that some Macs do not support alpha bit planes. When the AlphaBitPlanes flag was on, vtkXOpenGLRenderWindow failed to try visuals that did not have alpha bit planes (even though it tried getting rid of stereo, multiple samples, and depth buffers). I have attached a patch to vtkXOpenGLRenderWindow.cxx that should fix the problem.

This change should definitly go to the ParaView 2.4 branch.
