<div dir="ltr">Thanks Uktarsh. Am I correct in thinking that OSMesa is required if there is no graphics card on the server? What about if there is a graphics card and display for the server but no one using the display (i.e. a remote workstation I can access through SSH)? This is one situation I have. I guess a similar situation might occur if the pvserver is in fact a remote HPC server with high end GPU's you would like to use for rendering? <div>
