I have an NVIDIA Corporation GK104GL [Quadro K4200] in my cluster, but I’m experiencing very slow GPU rendering. I also receive the message: “Display is not accessible on the server side. Remote rendering will be disabled.” This issue is causing significant lag, and rendering tasks often lead to crashes. I would greatly appreciate any assistance in resolving this so that I can fully utilize the cluster’s capabilities. Additionally, the Kitware website link seems to be broken (404 error).

Do your server have a GPU ?
Does your server run a graphical environnement ?
Which ParaView version are you using server side ?

This I have typed for finding display but I think this is not available to gpu or something due to not updating the driver
And I have tried using both osmessa and egl for the same

You need to install `glxinfo` and make sure it works, eg using `DISPLAY=:0` and `xhost+`. Only then will `pvserver` be able to work.
Alternatively, you can use the EGL release.
