All,

We are in the process of porting our Performer (OpenGL based)
application from an
Onyx RE2 (IRIX 6.2) with 2 pipes to an Onyx 2 iR (IRIX 6.4) and have a
few questions.

- The iR has eight channels. Is that one pipe with eight channels
similiar to the way
MCO used to work on a pipe? So in the software we specify one pipe, but
use
portions of the window for each channel?

- We currently have 2 pipes on our Onyx. We set each pipe to
1280x1024_180qi for input
to our nVision HMD. We use one pipe for each eye for stereo display.
How do we set
up the iR to do the same? Looking at ircombine, we don't quite
understand it. When using
the ircombine gui, are the channels supposed to be on top of each other?

- We also have 2 Virtual Technolgy gloves and a Fastrak. We have been
told
that the serial interface has changed between the two machines. Has
anyone
experienced any problems moving serial input devices between the two
different machines?

Thanks a bunch.
