OK, I've got my spanking new Mac Pro with the (very expensive) NVIDIA
Quadro FX 4500 and I bought a shiny new ViewSonic G225f to augment my
LCD display. I plug in the Stereographics E2 emitter...and now
what? I'm not getting hardware stereo (which isn't surprising, it
surely couldn't be that easy), but I'm not finding a lot of guidance
about what it is I need to do.
One question is whether I have the appropriate build. This is what
comes up in the text window when I launch:
This PyMOL Executable Build incorporates Open-Source PyMOL 0.99rc6
I do find this comment on the Wiki:
"The trick to getting MacPyMOL to work in stereo on the second
monitor is to force it to initially open on that display by providing
an appropriate "-X #" (and perhaps -Y #) option on launch. That way
the OpenGL context will be created with stereo support.
./MacPyMOL.app/Contents/MacOS/MacPyMOL -X -1000
./MacPyMOL.app/Contents/MacOS/MacPyMOL -X -1000 -Y 100"
But I don't understand the syntax. This is invoked from the command
line, I assume, but
./something.app/somethingelse
doesn't look like the path to an executable to me...If I simply try ./
MacPyMOL.app -X 1000, I get back "Permission denied."
My apologies if I'm being unusually stupid.
The emitter worked when last tested (a month or so ago, on an SGI).
