Dear X11 developers,
this is not a bug report but my personal view how important a working
X11 stereo on Leopard would be. Most of the scientific graphics
programs that support hardware (or quadbuffered or sequential) stereo
display via an emitter and stereo glasses use X11 for that purpose.
These programs worked well in stereo with X11 on Tiger, but fail with
X11 on Leopard. Asking the developers of these programs why X11 stereo
on Leopard fails usually results in the rather helpless reply that
Leopard's X11 doesn't report its stereo capability to their programs.
In a scientific environment, X11 stereo is one of the most important
features if you work with complicated 3D objects like big protein or
DNA structures. The non-functional X11 stereo in Leopard creates a lot
of headaches amongst scientific software developers and users that
have to use X11 stereo, and keeps me from upgrading to Leopard on my
MacPro.
May I express my urgent wish, probably also in the name of my Mac-
using colleagues world-wide, to get a working X11 stereo on Leopard as
soon as possible?
Many thanks to all X11 developers who have addressed and corrected so
many bugs in X11, thus far!
Best regards,
Dirk Kostrewa.
