Hi,

I'm trying to write a simple Performer program that will display a scene in
stereo. I've basically just modified the stereo.c file from the Performer home
page and converted it to C++.

The problem is that it doesn't display the scene in stereo. It seems to be
switching buffers ok, but only one image is displayed. I'm running it on an
Indy R5000 with 8bit Graphics, and also on an Indigo2 R10000 Maximum Impact,
and get the same results on both.

A (probably) way off guess is that the Indigo2 doesn't have a stereo-buffer and
so can't support quad-buffer stereo. Is this likely to be true, and if so, how
can stereo be done? I know the machine is stereo capable because other
programs can run in stereo mode.

What is the best way to use Performer to display in stereo mode?

Thanks for any help,

Rochelle
