[Paraview] VRPN Setup

Hi Nikhil and Stephan,

Outstanding response time, thanks! As you say, my first mistake is not
using a CAVE client-server setup.

I have set up a CAVE display with the short pvx file below, (borrowed from
the CAVE example). I run the server with
pvserver /path/to/config.pvx
I don't use MPI because I only have 1 screen and hence 1 process. I launch
the client (by ssh from another machine) with
paraview --stereo --stereo-type="Crystal Eyes" --server="hubble1"
--state=/path/to/1.pvsm
where "hubble1" is the local hostname, and also the PVserver name.

Result: A "cave" type window is launched in fullscreen mode on the main
display showing a stereo image. The standard Paraview client is available
on the remote machine (via X forwarding). I can manipulate the session with
the mouse on the remote machine. Moving the tracking targets has no effect
on the main display.

Perhaps I should save the state from the CAVE session and append the VRPN
settings to that one instead?

Thanks,

Seán
