Is there an issue with offscreen rendering and mesa in the CVS? I'm building Paraview from a CVS download from Monday. I'm configuring this to run on one of our clusters that does not have GL cards and I believe that I'm building against mesa.

When I fire up pvserver and connect back to the client, and load up some geometry (max'd out sphere, for instance), I get a number of X-windows errors on the server side, like it's trying to connect back to my display.

Process id: 3 >> ERROR: In /build/src/ParaView-08.25.08/VTK/Rendering/vtkXOpenGLRenderWindow.cxx, line 1478 vtkXOpenGLRenderWindow (0xb62160): bad X server connection. DISPLAY=hpc-cluster-l7:10.0

The HPC node does not have GL cards and is not running an X server. Other than spewing X-errors, I am getting updated GL on the client - it's just not clear to me that it's actually doing distributed SW rendering on the server side. I have a build from the last production release (3.2.1) that behaves properly ... but I didn't do that build! 8-)
