Dear all,
I started looking into the never ending story of stereo in crystallography... As with our standardized linux setup we probably are not willing to move to X.org-world, if was wondering, if anybody was succesful to make stereo working in Windows 10. I did read some NVIDIA forum, and it seems that 3d vision is not very supported by NVIDIA, even for gamers... Was anybody able to mke it work with Geforce cards, to save few bucks?
Best regards,
Jan

Hello,
we just wanted to share our experience in finding a configuration which allows to use 3D graphics under linux using Nvidia GeForce 3D glasses.
We had quite a hard time to find a configurations which works correctly.
We finally used Debian linux with a xfce desktop. Other recent desktops use a tiling which is not compatible with 3D graphics.
The hardware consists of
- a DELL Precision T5810 desktop computer with an Nvidia Quadro M4000 (8 Gbyte memory, 4 DP) graphics card
- Nvidia GeForce 3D Vision 2 (NVIDIA GEF 3D VISION 2 GLASSES KIT) active stereo glasses
- a stereo connector PNY Quadro 4000 3D for the synchronization of graphics card and glasses
- an ASUS 24" LED 3D - VG248QE display
- a DisplayPort-DisplayPort cable
The Nvidia linux drivers from version 367.57 can handle the current version of the Nvidia glasses.
For an obscure reason a direct DP-DP connection between graphics card and display is absolutely required in order to obtain fully working stereo. If a DP-DVI dual link adapter is used, the stereo does not work on the top and the bottom part of the screen. This is true for a native DELL active adaptor or generic models. The exact reason remains unresolved, but the solution is to use a direct DP-DP connection. This limits the available choice of displays which require 120 Hz for 1080*1980 screen resolution and a DP input. We have been choosing a “Nvidia 3D ready” model.
There has been a considerate about of exchange about this problem on
The setup comes with a price tag of about 1600 € free of taxes.
coot, pymol and chimera work straight without problems in hardware stereo mode. The experience is absolutely great.
Best
Wim
