Hello all,

While we're on the subject of display modes on iR systems, I've
got what I hope is a simple request:

I'd like to make a .cmb (I guess) that gives me two 1024x768_96s
outputs. Actually, I'd like two outputs of the highest resolution
stereo I can get with my hardware (gfxinfo output below).

Also, is setmon used to switch into xx.cmb display modes as well
as .vof's? (And what's the difference between vof's & vfo's?)

(At first I was totally lost, since I figured the 'dg4' directory
would be under the /usr/gfx/ucode/RE directory -- I hadn't noticed
the KONA directory right away).

% /usr/gfx/gfxinfo
Graphics board 0 is "KONAS" graphics.
        Managed (":0.0") 1280x1024
        Display has 8 channels
        4 GEs (of 4), occmask = 0x0f
        4MB external BEF ram, 32bit path
        2 RM6 boards (of 2) 1/1/0/0
        Texture Memory: 64MB/64MB/-/-
        Medium pixel depth
        32K cmap

The goal is to run four synced stereo displays off of these two
pipes (ie. a CAVE tm). I understand the syncing of stereo is again
a problem with the new hardware, but is a bridge someone else is
currently working on.]

        Thanks,
