[Paraview] to be sure about used hardware ...

Hi,

I checked "Volume Rendering Mode" but i could not see it in my case. It 
is exist in my local laptop (Mac OS) but it is not in ParaView installed 
under Debian 8.0. I think that after selecting representation type to 
Volume, it must show up in the Properties menu. Right?
