<p class="MsoNormal">I think we need to be able to build an osmesa version of ParaView, and we need this rendering option as a command line option for all Kitware Linux downloads. The reason is that the next version of Redhat – RHEL 7 will no longer allow
the forwarding of GLX contexts. Thus, to be able to X forward ParaView back to a local computer, we will need to render into only an X window. This is already giving us issues at Sandia with new Linux installs.<u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Is this possible? How hard will it be? Any ideas on schedule?<u></u><u></u></p>
