[Paraview] Solved: paraview crashes while saving screenshot

[sundeep rao]

Hi,

Problem solved by following suggestion given in openfoam message board
http://openfoam.cfd-online.com/forum/messages/1/4438.html

This link was given in the post -- "Save screenshot and Intel graphics: a workaround"  in paraview mailing  list

I followed the procedure given in the post :- 
 to add the following line in  /etc/X11/xorg.conf  file in ServerLayout section

Section "ServerLayout" 
        Option         "AIGLX" "false" 
EndSection

It worked.

I have tried this in paraview 3.3 in Intel as well as AMD onboard grahics,
using ubuntu 8.04 and ubuntu 7.10. I think this is a problem with software  and not hardware specific.

Thanks very much for help

Regards,
Sundeep
