Yup this is from a while ago when I was testing stereo with our application…

First of all can you paste the capabilities available (log file or just print the capabilities) and some info regarding graphic driver & model

PS: some new drivers from Nvidia come without quad buffer support (depending on card family) so check if you have quad buffered support.

Anyways for me to get it to work, I had to manually select the capabilities that include stereo. Since you might request some conflicting desired caps that doesn’t come when utilizing stereo.

Will have to check again if this is still valid…but anyways try it.

Override the choose capability function in DefaultCapabilitiesChooser

DefaultGLCapabilitiesChooser choiceExaminer = new DefaultGLCapabilitiesChooser()    {

                                                public int chooseCapabilities(GLCapabilities desired, GLCapabilities[] available, int windowSystemRecommendedChoice)

                                                {

                                                                int sysChosenCapIndex = super.chooseCapabilities(desired, available,windowSystemRecommendedChoice);                                             

int desiredCapIndex = …. Chose the one with stereo mode from the available caps.

return desiredCapIndex;

                                                }

};

….

GLCapabilities stereoCaps = new GLCapabilities();

stereoCaps.setStereo(true);

                GraphicsDevice device = GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment().getDefaultScreenDevice();

                glcanvas = new GLCanvas(stereoCaps, choiceExaminer, null, device);

….

IF all you available caps are false for stereo, then the log/model/driver info would be helpful.

Hope it helps!

Yep, our colleague Rami is aware of this too,
and a fix will be provided.

Thank you for the good description.

If you have time (and still a bit patience with JOGL),
you may like to provide a test case to reduce some overhead
and misunderstandings here.
