Note: Omission of this step trips the fuse. To reset a tripped fuse, power off the
system unit and wait approximately 15 minutes for the fuse to return to its
base value.
The following table lists only the stereo options supported by POWER GXT4000P and
POWER GXT6000P.

Using the X_STEREO Environment Variable
The -stereo flag can only be used in AIX Version 4.3.3 or later. Nonsupported screens
ignore the X_STEREO environment variable. If the environment variable is set to TRUE
or the -stereo flag is set in AIX 4.3.3, double-buffer stereo will be enabled.
Supported screens will configure the adapter to provide the best available support for
stereo. This can decrease other resources, such as texture memory. The actual amount
of memory affected is device-dependent, and can be influenced by other factors, such
as screen resolution or default pixel depth.
The X_STEREO environment variable should be exported in the
/usr/lpp/X11/defaults/xserverrc file. The example is similar to the following:
export X_STEREO=TRUE
-STEREO[:display name or display number]
Configure the graphics adapter for optimum stereo support for the screen that is
specified by
:display
.
The
:display
parameter is optional but useful when using the multihead option. The
:display
parameter is the name of the display as shown in the lsdisp command. If no
display number or name is supplied, the -stereo flag pertains to all supported screens.
Non-supported screens ignore the -stereo flag.
