Dear VMDers,

When I try to use the GPU accelerated interactive rendering on our
visualization server I get a black screen. Non-interactive rendering does
render correctly. Also the CPU rendering (OSPRAY) works fine both
interactively and non-interactively (though it is always so dark). I am not
sure if it matters, but the interfacing takes place over a NICE portal
streaming the screen.
