 I recently used vtk Crystal Eyes stereo on my Octane and I had to
give this commend to enter stereo:

    /usr/gfx/setmon -n 1024x768_96s

This resulted in "stereo in a window" which is really nice because
 nothing outside the window that you're interested in is affected.

To get out of stereo I had to give this command:

   /usr/gfx/setmon -n 1280x1024_72

See "man setmon" for details.   I don'know if the Onyx  3400 works the
same way as the Octane MXI I used.

Good Luck,
Dave
