Some tips for using stereo on cook (now mostly obsolete)

• Running InsightII in full screen stereo mode:

  setenv STEREO_TRIGGER '/usr/gfx/setmon -n STR_RECT'
  setenv STEREO_DEVICE 1
  setenv NORMAL_TRIGGER '/usr/gfx/setmon -n 1600x1024_83'
  setenv WB_STEREO_TYPE soft
  setenv WB_STEREO_OFFSET 532
  insightII -gl
  

  To actually enable stereo in InsightII go to Session->Stereo and press 'Execute'. To go to full screen mode press 'F1' button. To go back go to Session->Stereo and again press 'Execute'.
  
  
• Running InsightII in stereo-in-a-window mode:

  setenv STEREO_DEVICE 1
  setenv STEREO_TRIGGER 1
  setenv NORMAL_TRIGGER "/usr/gfx/setmon -n 1600x1024_83"
  insightII -gl
  

  or just type insightIIs. To actually enable stereo in InsightII go to Session->Stereo and press 'Execute'. To go back go to Session->Stereo and again press 'Execute'.

• To try some SGI stereo demos:

  cd /usr/demos/General_Demos/powerflip/data
  /usr/demos/General_Demos/powerflip/powerflip -S filename
  

  where filename is one of the following: beethoven.ydl, doughnut.ydl, logo.ydl, martini.ydl, ranger.ydl, re_can.ydl, shell.ydl, porsche.ydl, space.ydl, tricera.ydl and x29.ydl.
  
  To quit press 'Esc'.
  
  
• In case your display won't return to the default size/refresh rate you can use video_reset command to reset it. Or just logout and login back.
