[Paraview] Problem with remote display (Exceed)

[Bernhard Gschaider]

Hi Julien!

Thanks for your quick response.

I'm afraid it doesn't solve my problem: I didn't say it in my original
mail, but GLX was already enabled (I have Exceed3D installed; checking
with xdpyinfo says that GLX is working)[1]. In fact, other applications
that use GLX work fine.

At least now I know, that previous versions of Exceed worked with
ParaView. 

regards
Bernhard

Footnotes: 
[1]  If GLX is disabled ParaView gives a different error message:
Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display
