Gerard, You can still run paraview but you don't use VirtualGL if you don't have software acceleration . If you ssh -X nemo (from the sun ray client) and then run paraview, it will use indirect OpenGL to do software rendering on the Sun Ray server. Linda Steve Nash wrote: > Gerard Henry wro

Gerard, When using a Sun Ray as the client, the graphics server needs to be able to talk directly to the Sun Ray DTU. That is, the DTU should not be on a separate private network. Additionally, you should not need to specify the '-cl' and '-d' vglrun options. The display that should be used

Gerard, I am building up an S10U5 system like yours to see if I can reproduce the problem. The resolvepath directory in your truss output is from how Qinghuai build paraview, and is harmless other than an unnecessary search by the run time linker. When Qinghuai gets back from vacation we can
