[vtkusers] Crystal eyes again...

Ok, I finally got the Crystal Eyes glasses hooked up and am trying to get them 
to work.  This is harder than it looks and I'm not real sure why.

First, I have a Sun Ultra 10 with a Creator 3D Series 2 card.  The transmitter 
is hooked up and the glasses seem to work, but I have no demo program except for 
my VTK software.

I used mobius.tcl from graphics/examplesTcl and changed/added the following 
lines:

vtkRenderWindow renWin
    renWin AddRenderer ren1
    renWin StereoCapableWindowOn
    renWin SetStereoTypeToCrystalEyes
    renWin StereoRenderOn

When I hit the "3" key, I get the following:

vtkOpenGLRenderWindow (0xff7460): Adjusting stereo mode on a window that does 
not support stereo type CrystalEyes is not possible.

How can I make my window support Crystal Eyes?  I tried doing a boot -r, and it 
booted, but I have no way of telling that the Crystal Eyes is hooked up properly 
and working.  According to the docs, it is since both LED's light up.

FWIW, I tried a renWin SetFullScreen 1 in there and still no joy.  I assume I'll 
be able to tell that its in Crystal Eyes mode at some point...

Thanks for any ideas!

Joey
