I read on the wiki pages that its not necessary to install mesa if graphics
hardware exists. Anyway, my cluster does not have any graphic hardware, but I
am using my pc ( run on windows and has graphic hardware) to connect I use
putty and xming. I can render the paraview and it appears but what I can't see
is .. the sources thing like cone, arrow, 3D text, when I choose and click
apply, it loads but nothing appears, paraview does not hang and it works fine,
but I can't see anything appearing in the 3D view. I have attached a screenshot
together with this mail.<u1:p></u1:p><o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
