>From what Dan has posted so far, it's not clear to me that he's
using windowed stereo apps. It sounds to me like he's using blue-line
stereo which I've only ever seen used with full-screen apps, which would
mean that it wouldn't work with VMD. If he's got it working with a
windowed application, then that would be very interesting.
