Multisampling & RMs

Hi,

Yestarday has been installed a new RM5 on my Onyx RE2.
We decided to do this in order to get the antialising feature
based on multisampling and to increase the pixel throughput: on the
GL Programming Guide I read: "One Additional RM lets you use either
advanced graphics features such as multisampling, or lets you select a
high-resolution video format."

Graphics board 0 is "REV" graphics.
                Managed (":0.0") 1280x1024
                Display 1280x1024 ++at++ 60Hz
                12 GE (GE10 rev. 0x7)
                1 RM5 board
                Small pixel depth
                10-bit RGBA pixels
                Not using Multi-Channel Option

As our application should run on high resolution monitor

Excuse me for the long story but as I could not find any documentation
in the man pages about RM and all the mail dealing about RM
refers to RM4 boards it's better that the one that could help me
knew my (right or wrong) point of view.

Well the problem is that antialiasin doesn't work.
Thi is the output of various getgconfig in my Performer application:

GC_BITS_RED=8
GC_BITS_GREEN=8
GC_BITS_BLUE=8
GC_BITS_ALPHA=0
GC_BITS_ZBUFFER=0
GC_ZMIN=0
GC_ZMAX=0
GC_BITS_STENCIL=0
GC_BITS_ACBUF=0
GC_MS_SAMPLES=0
GC_BITS_MS_ZBUFFER=0
GC_MS_ZMIN=0
GC_MS_ZMAX=0
GC_BITS_MS_STENCIL=0

after the following code:

OpenPipeline(...)
{
... standard perfly settings....
        pfInitGfx(p);
        RGBsize(8);
        zbsize(0);
        mssize(4,32,0);
    stensize(0);
        gconfig();
.......
}

It's seems that nothing happens.
There is someone who can help me to understand what is wrong?
Is the actual HW configuration enough? Or is something wrong
with the frame buffer configuration?

Thanks in Advance
