We can enable stereo just fine. You can see both stereo images rendering, and it
synchs correctly with the glasses.
The separate Z-buffer problem is exactly what we are experiencing on two different
manufactures cards which makes it unusable, and definitely unpresentable.
Will that fix be available in time for SIGGRAPH? In time, being well before
SIGGRAPH so as to be able to test?
Specifically, when is the next release expected?
