Open3d: Return None when calling vis.get_render_option()

[HaiyongJiang]

Dear authors,

I encountered some errors when running "headless_rendering.py". The following is the log information. I am not sure what is the potential problem. Can you kindly help me figure it out? Thank you.

Any progress on this issue?

I am also encountering this error trying to run the second code snippet from the documentation

Any ideas on how to troubleshoot?

This should be resolved if following updated instructions from master (after #1695 was merged). When using OSMesa there should not be any errors like "Failed to open display localhost:*", that would indicate OSMesa is not being used and display is being used. If there are still issues please compile master and post output of bin/GLInfo and your environment.
