That is excellent as an experimentation technique (which is why the capability
is there) but just do NOT depend on that ID keeping its meaning - ie. don't
hard code it into a shell script or worse yet into code.

The main bug we had in released software as in original 2.0 where
requesting a stereo visual was busted - sorry. Anyway, this was
fixed long ago in the first and all updates to Performer2.0.

Nope I meant id, I do this a lot, if you are using perfly you can
request a visual usint the appropriate command line option.


At one point attribute requests were err... unreliable using performer ;-)
