Ok, I got the code and compiled and it ran fine, sort of... When it starts up I get a

->PF Notice: pfChooseFBConfig: failed to make configuration matching specified attributes PF Notice/Resource: Couldn't get a stereo window; using mono mode

Then it runs fine if the window is small. It looses sync if the window is expanded. I'm assuming it's not buffering the frame correctly and as soon as it takes more than 1/30th of a second to draw it gets behind. I tried several different command-line options, i.e. mulitproc and fork X, but still no good (didn't think it would help anyway). Is there some kind of before hand graphics mode I have to set. Back in the olden days we had to do that on regular Indigo's. It also doesn't work on our Onyx2, but on the Onyx we don't get any crystal eyes 'flicker', just a single channel.

Thanks in advance.
