[Paraview] paraview and off_screen rendering or mesa

[Berk Geveci]

Check out this page: http://paraview.org/Wiki/Setting_up_a_ParaView_Server

In summary, you don't need mangled mesa but mesa with OSMesa support.
I recommend building 2 paraviews. One with regular OpenGL -> use as
client. One with Mesa with OS support -> use as server.
