1. Use

to enable multisampling.
2. Log out, then log back in to restart the X Window system for the changes to take

The Sun OpenGL for Solaris displays a message such as the following
If multisampling is not needed at this time, it is more efficient to select a
single-sampled (non-multisampling) visual than to disable multisampling using
GL_ARB_multisample

-samples
option value. Display filtering
and jitter is also disabled, as discussed in the next section.
1. To disable multisampling, type:
Note –
Setting sample density to 1 is not equivalent to disabling multisampling;
setting sample density to 1 is still subject to filtering and jitter, where disabling
multisampling is not.
2. Log out, then log back in to restart the X Window system for the changes to take
effect.
