Does the app run OK ? If so I think this is relnoted in the pf 2.x relnotes but
it's a 'collision' between IrisGL and OpenGL, are you loading an Inventor model
in an app running linked with IrisGL ? I think the clash is between the OpenGL
done in Inventor and stuff done by the Performer IrisGL IV loader. If the app
runs OK then the msg is probably harmless. If it's nothing to do with the
Inventor loader thjen perhaps you are mixing IrisGl and OpenGL calls in your
app.

See the Performer web page->FAQs for the right pf install ( version and patches
) for you machine/OS. See the SGI support web pages for the latest recommended
patch sets, off the top of my head, you should make sure you have the RE2 gfx
roll up 2038.

Cheers
Rob
