Description

I installed Mayavi on laptop ( Dell Latitude) which is using **Intel Graphics 520 (Skylake GT2)**
When I launch Mayavi on laptop ... I can open with out any errors.

OS I am using is: RHEL 7.7 on laptop.

But When I take remote access to laptop using Xrdp from windows 10 machine and try to launch
I am getting below error
Error: In /work/standalone-x64-build/VTK-source/Rendering/OpenGL2/vtkOpenGLRenderWindows.cxx, line 797.

then I checked the glxinfo | grep render on laptop

OpenGL renderer String: Mesa DRI Intel (R) HD Graphics 520

and when I checked glxinfo | grep render on Xrdp session

OpenGL renderer String: llvmpipe (LLVM7.0, 256 bits)

**To try this with VirtualGL**
I installed VirtualGL on laptop and took Xrdp session to launch Mayavi. but still getting above OpenGL error.
After Installing VirtualGL also my Xrdp session pulling software rendering method.

**Question 1 :** Why my Xrdp session is taking software rendering method instead of taking hardware rendering ( Intel Card).
**Question 2:** What changes to do to make use of Intel graphics in Xrdp session.

Please help me on this . Thank you in advance.
