Hi Jean,

The dirty pixels might caused if you're exceeding the max screen size a configured in your server's xorg.conf. That's one way I've seen that before. You could run xrandr command to list the available resolutions.

Not sure about 2, but I've used PV 4.0.1 on an system that has 2 gpu's per node. similar to what you've done. I'm assuming you have an x screen for each gpu. are you able to run some other x program per gpu? if yes could you get a stack trace?

Hello

I am configuring a new cluster with two GPUs per node. When doing server-side 
rendering, I get the following dirty pixels when I increase pixels resolution 
beyond a certain threshold. this is using a single GPU per node with a command 
like

mpiexec -n 8 -env DISPLAY :0.0 /apps/castor/ParaView/4.0/bin/pvserver -rc 
-ch=148.***.***.*** -sp=11111

my PV is compiled with ICET_USE_OPENGL:BOOL=ON. What could cause these dirty 
pixels? my driver is libGL.so.319.17

Second problem: I'd really like to use both GPUs. I run (for example)

mpiexec -n 8 -env DISPLAY :0.0 /apps/castor/ParaView/4.0/bin/pvserver -rc 
-ch=148.***.***.*** -sp=11111 :  -n 8 -env DISPLAY :0.1 
/apps/castor/ParaView/4.0/bin/pvserver -rc -ch=148.***.***.*** -sp=11111

and the whole thing crashes right on init with

ERROR: In 
/apps/eiger/src/ParaView-v4.0.1-source/VTK/Parallel/Core/vtkSocketCommunicator.cxx,
 line 812
vtkSocketCommunicator (0x200d5f390): Could not receive tag. 144432

I have search the ML and the wiki, but most messages refer to tiled displays, 
wheras I just want to distribute GPUs over pvservers. What have I forgotten? I 
am running 4.0.1.
