I guess I should already know how to deal with this. I am not able to see any lighting in my viewports. Just black. I can see the default lights when I switch them in with ctrl-L.

I am using mental ray and I have about 20 lights in the scene.. an MR area omni and a MR spot.

renders are fine.
thanks.
