Without using paraview can you open a display on the server side? If
not I would say that there is an issue with permissions (xhost+) or
display environment.

Another problem with the cave mode is the visualization of some

I will let someone else answer this question. But I would like to
mention that we are working on a related project and as part of that
we are re-factoring some of the cave configuration (adding support for
tracker configuration, devices), stereo computation (better stereo)
and interactions in VR (via wand etc) environment. We already made
some good progress on it.  Once we reach certain level, we will send
the details out to the mailing list.

If you are interested in details, please let  us know.

Thanks,
