We have large clusters and some of them have graphics cards on them. Most don't. So normally I expect to be using -DVTK_USE_OFFSCREEN:BOOL=ON -DPARAVIEW_USE_MPI:BOOL=ON with cmake. I got to thinking. First, if I compile with -DVTK_USE_OFFSCREEN:BOOL=ON then why do I have to use --use-offscreen-rendering to launch the pvservers. Secondly, can pvservers render to graphics cards for distributed rendering under MPI? If so, does it make sense to do -DVTK_USE_OFFSCREEN:BOOL=OFF -DPARAVIEW_USE_MPI:BOOL=ON ??
