Alexander,
What graphics card were you using in the demo system? From my experience,
it seems only the high end card (FX3700 and up) can do this (having the
3-pin stereo connector). This is different from the situation for Windows
where a low end card like FX380 works fine. The 3-pin stereo cable is
part of the 3D Vision kit in our purchase.

[ccp4bb] Stereo TFT
Dear all,
We had a demo of the ViewSonic® FuHzion? VX2265wm and Nvidia 3D Vision
system yesterday.
The stereo quality is equivalent/superior to our Stereographics/CRT setup.
We have tested coot and pymol in the normal hardware stereo mode. There
are several advantages besides space requirements and availability:
integrated recharchable battery and you can work with a second non stereo
TFT to expand the desktop as the glasses do not influence other TFTs
(unlike Stereographics).
On the ViewSonic TFT has a good image quality, however when looking at a
plain coloured background a fine grid is visible. In my opinion it does
not affect the normal crystallographic work and depending on you
background settings you might not even notice it.
As far as I understood the key requirements for linux are a quadro
graphics card with 3-pin stereo connector and the VESA 3-pin stereo cable
that is described in the manual from the Nvidia website but not included
in the package in all countries.
Best regards,
Alexander
