[...] With my upcoming new headtracking driver for the vusix vr920 hmd it is likely that I manage to get the famous flight simulator FlightGear to work with it. This led me again to the problem that FlightGear does not work in quad buffered stereo, as I described in my comment to FlightGEAR 2.0.0 on GENTOO. [...]

I tried to use flightgear with the VR920 but I was not able to get stereoscopic output with flightgear yet.

I tried to start flightgear this way with a stereo enabled xserver:

export OSG_STEREO_MODE=QUAD_BUFFER;export OSG_STEREO=ON; fgfs

When using the above command line I get the following console output and no stereoscopic view:

Warning: detected OpenGL error ‘invalid operation’ after RenderBin::draw(,)

Furthermore some cockpit controls contain yellow lines then, which are not there when starting flightgear in “normal” display mode. I suspect this to be a bug in flightgear.

Once I get flightgear to work in stereoscopic mode, I´d like to add headtracking support for the VR920 to it.

regards

Cool

Are you planning on trying to get the VR920 working with this?
