[Paraview] Building ParaView with MPICH2 (Windows)

[David E DeMarle]

Some drivers require that the window not be obscurred. Try shrinking the
client window to make up enough screen real estate, then making sure that
both server windows are on top of the window manager (nothing is on top of
them).

If the rendering is correct in that case, then you need using offscreen
rendering.
Try using --offscreen-rendering on the pvserver command. If the hardware
supports it, this will work right away. If not, you need OSMesa on the
machine (pure software GL). After you have then condigure and compile
paraview from source to make it aware of it.
