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
Graphics board 1 is "KONAS" graphics.
Unmanaged 1280x1024
Display has 8 channels
4 GEs (of 4), occmask = 0x0f
4MB external BEF ram, 32bit path

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,
Bill
