Hi I am wondering if there is a linux nvidia driver update or any other hack that allows Crystal Eyes 3 stereo products to work with the LCD 120Hz flat panel monitors.
I should have read Warrens warning post (Dated Jan 23 , 2009 [ccp4bb] Caution - 120 Hz LCDs: Not CRT killers yet) , before purchasing the Viewsonic VX2265wm 120Hz LCD. But my CRT died last week and since I was addicted to pymol/coot-in stereo ( with Crystal Eyes 3 ) , I rushed out and bought this 120 Hz LCD monitor. Of course things dont work . And I am wondering if there is any update from nvidia or any other workaround that allows me to get stereo on this setup.
