The pixel depth supported determines the capability.
It is actually the managed area size that you have to change the whole
desktop, rather than just the window using stopgfx, setmon then startgfx
calls and specifying a vof from those available in /usr/gfx/.... in the
setmon call. Small pixel depth cannot antialias, medium depth can. A
single RM cannot antialias at 1280x1024.
Using glxinfo should list the visuals on the x server after you change
with setmon and restart the x server. It will tell you if any
antialiased visuals are available. Sorry I can't help you further I'm a
bit rusty on RealityEngines, it's been a while. If you purchase another
RM you will be able to antialias at 1280x1024.
Cheers,Angus.
