Thanks again to Mathieu!
running client/server in parallel works
`mpirun -np 4 --mca btl_openib_allow_ib 1 bin/pvserver -display localhost:0`
**but remote rendering of pvserver still disabled (Display not accessible on server side)**

> Hi all, I’m hoping to run pvserver on an Amazon EC2 instance with an Nvidia M60 GPU on it. Unfortunately, I’m having some issues which I believe are related to X displays on the EC2 instance. When I try to render something on the server after connecting with paraview running on my laptop, I see: Display is not accessible on the server side. Remote rendering will be disabled. Why is this? What info can I provide to diagnose this issue?

You need to figure out how to run a Xorg server in your server first.

Or build ParaView with the EGL backend. That way, you won’t need X.
