[Paraview] Paraview running remotely through VNC

[Wylie, Brian]

Renato,
 
As Bill has alluded to, you should certainly be using the image delivery feature of ParaView. It works remarkably well. :)
 
Start up a server on the SGI and start up a client on your windows box.
 
Go to 3D View properties, make sure compositing is 'on' and slide the threshold to 0MB, and I think you'll be pleasantly surprised at the image delivery performance you get (some folks don't even realize what's happening... :)

You need to run a different version of VNC.  One that supports GLX, which
is really OpenGL.   Or, you could run paraview in client server mode with
the server running on the SGI, and the client running on Windows.
