A-ha! Hardwired disabling of stereo fixed the issue. I had not
noticed earlier that a vis5d start-up message was now appearing that
said "Stereo Enabled," and, sure enough, the "stereo" button
appeared. Switching to stereo mode actually seems to work (two
flickering images with no background clutter), so it is only non-
stereo mode that is the problem.
In short, the solution is to make the application think that stereo is
not available at all. Perhaps the vtk issue (non-X11) could be
similarly solved?
Thanks for the help, Jeremy!

Well, I'm confused. Do you mean it's a problem with the X11
graphics drivers? Because there is no trouble with Leopard and the
2.2.3 release of X11.
That is because 2.2.3 doesn't enable support for stereo. The bug is
with Leopard graphics drivers when the application supports stereo.
Also, by "disable stereo", does that mean not even checking if
stereo is available? (i.e., does just calling glXChooseVisual
cause this problem?). I can probably hack the code to not check
for stereo capability and just hardwire the flags to say that
stereo is off, if that would suffice.
That should.
I'm sure it's not really your job to help here, so any help is
greatly appreciated. I suppose as long as I can keep running 2.2.3
I'll be fine.
Let me know how it goes.
