I don't think that perfly, as it currently exists, can be configured
for stereo operation. There are some example Performer applications
in /usr/share/Perfromer/src/pguide/libpf/C that can display databases
in stereo:
stereo - This does quad buffer stereo.
stereotb - This does full screen/top bottom stereo.
You may find that they do not work correctly on your Octane as you
have not chosen a valid .vfo video driver that can support stereo.
To do this you need to run setmon and choose an appropriate .vfo. If
you are running a relatively new version of IRIX there is gui version
of the tool called xsetmon which is more user friendly.
I think that for running stereo you may need the following:
# /usr/gfx/setmon -x 1024x768_96s
# /usr/gfx/stopgfx ; /usr/gfx/startgfx
and for stereotb:
# /usr/gfx/setmon -x STR_TOP or # /usr/gfx/setmon -x 1280x492_120s
# /usr/gfx/stopgfx ; /usr/gfx/startgfx
You may have to stop/start graphics in order for the X server to rebuild
its list of available visuals.
I hope this helps,
Andy.

Subject: perfly and stereo and OCTANE
Would someone be kind enough to explain briefly how to invoke perfly in
stereo on an OCTANE (SI)?
Thanks 1.0E+06,
