[vtkusers] no image in X-Win32 ??

[Jack W.]

Hi Hendrik,

My friend told me that X-Win32 v8.2 can solve this problem. I already got it work through v8.2 and v8.1 as well.   Thanks for your kind response!

okay, this simply means that there are no glx tools installed on your server 
machine and this does not have to be a problem in the first place. OpenGL 
(or, respectively, Mesa) should be in place on your server, otherwise VTK 
would not even start or provide you with the appropiate error messages. The 
only idea left I can support you with is to check the server's GL 
capabilities by other tools. Install/compile something simple like glxgears 
directly on the server and check whether this is running smoothly through 
your X-Win32 xserver. MAybe your server's configured to provide only 
offscreen rendering. In that case, I'd assume that your're badly out of luck. 

By the way, what's the OS your server's running on? I might provide help in 
identifying the problem on Linux or FreeBSD, but my knowledge on OpenGL 
issues on other platforms in rather limited.

Regards
 Hendrik
