has anyone tried using the new libpfv in performer 3.0?
(see Appendix B of the Getting Started Guide "Building a Visual
Simulation Application Using libpfv" or "man pfvViewer" if you want to
know what the **** i'm talking about)

looks like a promising approach to me. but after playing a little bit
with the provided examples, i have the feeling this is kind of beta- or
alpha-status.

for instance - trying to use a display configuration file like in the
examples:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<viewer>

<!-- Display specifications -->
<display>
        <!-- Configure middle pipe -->
        <pipe>
            <!-- direct middle pipe to screen 0 -->
            <screen>0</screen>
            <!-- Configure a single pipe-window on middle pipe -->
            <pwin>
                <!-- set pipe-window to fullscreen, no border -->
                <fullscreen>0</fullscreen>
                <border>1</border>
                <orig>5,100</orig>
                <size>1200,400</size>
                <title>VR-Raum</title>
                <!-- Configure a single channel on pipe-window -->
                <chan>
                        <name>chan_m</name>
                        <fov>150.0,46.0</fov>
                </chan>
            </pwin>
        </pipe>
</display>
...

gives the following errors for the FOV and name declaration:

PF Warning(22): pfvXmlNode::getFloatArray - missing 2th elt in
"150.0,46.0"
PF Warning: pfvDispView::setXmlField: <name> ? </name>
PF Warning: pfvDispView::setXmlField: <chan> ? </chan>

anyone else tried using libpfv or knowing more about the status?
