[Vis5d-users] Re: Vis5d UNIX -> X-server on PC/Windows?

To add to Bill & Don's replies:

I got the same response: the control panel widgets come up, and a graphics
window that stays black.  Turns out I loaded Exceed3d (the "add-on" to
Exceed) on top of an old version of Exceed.  When I uninstalled
everything, installed Exceed 6.2, and then Exceed3d it ran fine.

Well, actually one more thing: it didn't run fine, until I set the screen
resolution on my ViewSonic P815 to 1152 by 864 at 120 Hz and re-booted.
Then it ran fine, even with NCAR's -stereo setting for Crystal-Eyes
stereo.

I'm running Windows NT with a Elsa Gloria II graphics card.
