Help me troubleshoot this distortion

So I am working on an app using a custom engine integration with the Oculus 0.5.0 SDK on Mac OS X.
It's working well, except I'm getting a distortion effect that's making it very hard to read text.
Solid lines look like dancing dashed lines and details are overall grainy and jittery.

Example image:



Left side is the image in VRDesktop, right side is in my app



What is likely to be the cause here?

    The difference could be high quality distortion mode, but it could also just be texture sampling. You should ensure that you are generating a mip map chain and that you have enabled anisotropic filtering.

    Thanks! I was certain sampling and filtering was correct because it looks fine in a non-rift view, but it seems the Rift-mode enhances the jagged edges and taking a closer look it seems this was the issue all along.
