Setting up stereo mode on quexalcoatl

To enable the stereo mode for the crystal eyes, run the following commands as root:

# cd /usr/gfx
# ./setmon -x stereo-hi-fi
# ./stopgfx; sleep 8; ./startgfx &

The ampersand (&) is critical, without it x won't start again, and you'll have to remote log in to quexalcoatl and run startgfx by hand.

stereo-hi-fi is a ircombine generated combination file that gets the most resulution out of the stereo mode I have found. At higher resolutions, the monitor goes out of sync.

The resolution is currently 1120x840 @96 Hz stereo.

Combination files are stored in the directory:

/usr/gfx/ucode/KONA/dg4/cmb

they are built from the vfo (video format) files in:

/usr/gfx/ucode/KONA/dg4/vfo

There's a README file that describes the modes. If you can find a better resolution, please let me know.
