<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I'm using Paraview 2.4.3 in client-server mode on a little linux cluster with graphic cards.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I'm using mpich 1.2.7 and compiled with the settings of the following variables :</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">VTK_USE_MPI on</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">MPI LIBRARY </font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">MPI INCLUDE PATH</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">MPI EXTRA LIBRARY</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">MPI EXECUTABLE mpirun</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">CMAKE C COMPILER mpicc</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">CMAKE CXX COMPILER mpicxx</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Then I copied the files of Paraview and MPI on other nodes of the cluster. </font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">When I launch the application in client-server mode, a warning message appears, telling me that I won't be able to use compositing.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">"To enable compositing, compile and run the server with offscreen Mesa support or assign a valid display to all server nodes."</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">For obvious reason, I would like to choose the second solution.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">How can I assign a valid display to all server nodes so that the server can render ?</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">The DISPLAY environment value is :0.0 on all nodes for the user.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">The ~/.rhosts file lists all nodes. mode 700. The UID of the user is the same on all nodes.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">MPIRUN has been added to the PATH variable, MPI libs to LD_LIBRARY_PATH.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">The machine list file contains the machines of the server.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Thanks again for your help,</font>
