Antialiasing not working on our IR?

My question involves antialiasing on an Onyx IR with one RM-6. I
cannot seem to get antialiasing to work. Ugh... this should be simple
so I must not be doing something correctly.

Here's the situation:

The perfy demo in /usr/sbin/perfly_ogl (that came compiled) does
antialiasing wonderfully. I can easily see the difference when I
toggle whether antialiasing is on or off in the GUI.

However, when I tried to compile the perfly source myself (I made no
changes to the source), antialiasing did NOT work. The models looked
the same (with jaggies) whether antialiasing was on or off.

Along with all of this, in a very simple app that basically reads in a
flight file and displays it, I cannot get antialiasing to work. I am
using the call

        pfAntialias( PFAA_ON );

to turn antialiasing on. Is there something else that I need to do?

Just to reconfirm that I know antialiasing is possible with our
display configuration, I can run /usr/bin/perfly_ogl and see
antialiasing just fine, but then when I run the perfly_ogl app that I
compiled I cannot see that antialiasing has been turned on.

Does anyone have any ideas as to what I might be doing incorrectly. I
scanned over the past info-performer archives but wasn't able to find
information that was of any use.

Thanks for your time.
