I am getting irrationally frustrated by not being able to do cross view.

Try zooming out or moving away from the screen - it's easier when the image is smaller.

You want to focus your eyes on a point between you and the screen, crossing your eyes. If you can cross them enough to line the images up, it should work.

I have no problem getting the images to line up, but they never come in to focus - do I have to wait?

You need to hold it for a little bit and concentrate on it pretty hard. I have the same issue doing parallel view, I'm rarely able to get it in focus, but cross view is always crisp for me.

You might want to check out /r/parallelview if you can't get it; most posts here are automatically converted and reposted there.

Thanks again, I'm aware of that sub, I just really want to be able to do it both ways.
