There are several laptops which are compatible with the Nvidia 3D
vision system. However, I only know of laptops with GeForce type
cards, whereas Coot and Pymol require OpenGL and a Quadro graphics
card to work in stereo. In fact, the hardware requirements for
Windows (Vista and 7) are less strict than for Linux in that you can
buy a less expensive card, but it still needs to be a Quadro.
I've tried to interest the Coot windows developer to make a port of
Coot from OpenGL stereo to DirectX stereo but that apparently it is
not a straightforward proposition.
So, for the moment (and until NVIDIA releases compatible drivers)
that option is grayed out...
