Or so I thought...
Just to summarize my configuration: * I'm using (for now) a single render node with a single GPU, but dual-headed output * X is configured to run one server, with two screens (:0.0 en :0.1) * I'm running pvserver with mpirun -bynode -np 1 ./pvserver -tdx=2 -tdy=1 -display :0.0 : -np 1 ./pvserver -tdx=2 -tdy=1 -display :0.1 * I'm running the GUI from a different system through an SSH tunnel to port 11111 on the render node * I'm using paraview 3.6.1 on 32-bit Ubuntu Linux boxes The first thing that's off is that although I get undecorated Paraview render areas on each panel display they don't fill the whole screen (only roughly 75% in both width and height). Secondly, when loading a dataset and e.g. extracting an isosurface the rendering seems to work fine (minus the not completely full-screen render area). I can also see the two display match up nicely (I haven't specified any mullion setting so I'm assuming they get set to zero pixels). So far so good. But when I switch to volume rendering I get the strange artifact that each display renders only half of the total volume set; the left display only does the upper half, the right only the lower half. Even when the complete volume is moved so it is fully shown on only one display only half of the set is rendered. This seems to suggest that there is some kind of sort-last rendering going on, instead of sort-first. Any clues?
