Ok, I am trying to use the vtkOffscreenRenderWindow by John Shalf with Xvfb, but 
am running into a core dump.  What is happening is this line:
v = glXChooseVisual(this->DisplayId,
                    DefaultScreen(this->DisplayId),attributeList);
                    
is returning NULL.  This cause the v->depth to core.
Why would glXChooseVisual return NULL?  
This is how I am starting Xvfb:
Xvfb :1 -pixdepths 8 16 32 -screen 0 1600x1200x16
I've also tried it without the pixdepths argument, but no luck.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Joey
