This appendix describes how to framelock two graphics accelerators for stereo viewing.

Stereo

Displays must be synchronized so that the left and right views can be seen correctly through one set of LCD stereo glasses. The means of synchronizing stereo displays using stereo glasses and stereo emitters is through the 3-pin stereo connector.

Cabling for Stereo

Cable the Sun graphics accelerators for stereo before configuring your system. (See Configuring for Stereo.)

1. Locate the stereo connector on the Sun XVR-2500 graphics accelerator I/O backplate on the rear of your system (FIGURE E-1).

2. Connect the stereo glasses cable to the stereo connector (FIGURE E-2).

Note - The Sun XVR-2500 graphics accelerator can use both tethered and wireless stereo glasses. For wireless stereo glasses, connect the emitter connector to the Sun graphics accelerator stereo connector.

Configuring for Stereo

1. Change a resolution by using the fbconfig command.

You must configure each board separately (that is, for kfb0, kfb1, and so on).
For example:

host% fbconfig -dev kfb0 -res SUNW_STEREO_1280x1024x96

2. Log out of the X window system, and then log back in for the resolutions to take effect.
