If you have only one RM board on your RE2 then you don't have enough
framebuffer memory for multisample antialiasing at 1280x1024. You'll
need to reduce the size of your framebuffer by choosing a smaller
video output format. (ie, 960x680_60, or smaller)

Use '/usr/gfx/setmon -x 960x680_60' to do this, then restart graphics
('killall Xsgi' or reboot). Once it's back up, run /usr/gfx/gfxinfo
and look for the pixel depth, it should say 'medium'.

Performer will automatically make use of multisample antialiasing if
you're running at a pixel depth which allows it.
