Rick,
A few months ago Utkarsh worked with me to get pvbatch to run without an X
server. He didn't have the time to figure out what was creating those warnings.
I haven't updated from CVS for a while but this sounds like the same thing,
only from pvserver instead of pvbatch.
We ran pvbatch with 256 nodes on an XT3 where there was not only no X server
but no way for it to connect back to a display. Many warnings but it worked.

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,

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-)
