Scott, Ah, sorry about that. I was thinking that with GPU instances it was something small and seeing the mesa libraries threw me off but I followed the steps below and was able to get my paraview referencing the x server. Thanks alot! Just as an FYI for those that are novices like me, I had to do an additional step that may be intuitive for most that are familiar with x server but I needed to run vncserver and then export my DISPLAY to the master.1. When I try to just run X without doing this with it pointed to the 0.0 it will give me an error when I try and call glxinfo. After running vncserver and switching it to the master.1, I am able to run x and paraview tools :)
