Thanks for your help, Aashish and David.

On the glxgears in stereo mode....

"The glxgears --stereo uses quad-buffered (frame sequential) stereo. With
the projectors and cables we have at the CAVE at VT, the active stereo is
happening at the projector. It is being sent two separate video channels, 1
for left eye and one for right eye. Basically, at the computer side it is
like passive stereo. Glxgears does not have this type of stereo option."
This is why glxgears doesn't work in stereo mode here.

David, I have tried that configuration. See HERE
<https://github.com/faizabidi/VE_Project/blob/master/cave-stereo.pvx>. Yes,
both sections are driving the same set of pixels, so the coordinates must
be the same. But I get the same issue like before. I am kind of confused
here now. I am still trying to figure it out. Thanks for looking into this.
If you run into any new ideas, please do let me know.
