[Paraview] Problems mit Offline-Rendering (Mesa)

[Jan Linnenkohl]

Hello,

I had some problems with the offline-rendering. On the machines I used,
I didn't have the opportunity to login locally with an X-Server. Because
of this, I tried to use the mesa option to render offline. On the client
I want to render onscreen (therefore I build two versions, one with Mesa
and without Mesa support).

So I followed the build instruction on
http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK_OpenGL. I tried the mangled mesa and the
pure mesa way. With both I get the following interupt of the program
listed on the end of this email.

So why do he try to use a X server connection? I thought he should take
the mesa rendering. Where is my mistake?

I use the following things: ParaView CVS Version, MPI 2.01, Mesa 6.2.1

Thanks Jan
