OK. I have a more specific library list, from using the tool they
provide to analyse your code for library requirements.
-lvtkCommonCore -lvtkCommonDataModel -lvtkFiltersCore -lvtkFiltersHybrid -lvtkIOLegacy -lvtkjpeg -lvtkpng

I don't think that adding all 363 vtk libraries to the link link is
the right way to go !

Can you send me your vtk6 lxData.cxx patch? I've made one but don't
really know what I'm doing so am not sure if it's right.

OK. Interesting. Thanks for doing that.

I guess if it works on some machines then remaining issues may well be
hardware/driver specific. Although it's odd that wx2.8 does nnot
produce issues on the same hardware.

I'll test on my machines and see what I get.

There was for a time but that went away a couple of years ago. And yes
that apeared to be a problem at the wx/opengl drivers level.
