[Paraview] OpenGL inside VMWare virtual machine

Wed Nov 15 11:40:43 EST 2017

This could  be a PV Qt interaction. Try setting MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=3.2
in your environment

Basically there is a bug in Qt on windows where it refuses to see the 3.2
context from Mesa because it is not a compatibility context.
