Hi all, I've just read about a cheap TFT-screen & 3D-glasses combination from "ZALMAN" (ZM-M220W 22" TFT with 2x 3D-glasses). I don't know if one can use with linux but the technical specs look like it's using the normal Nvidia driver. I think maybe the refresh-rate is either too low or the afterglowing too long for 3D-model-building and thus it will produce a bad headache after some hours, but maybe it's worth a try... Even if I doubt it with regard to the price... Actually I've just written an email to the german reseller with loads of questions about the TFT and the possible use with linux/coot.
Unfortunately there's only a german web-page ... You can find it at http://www.alternate.de/html/product/details.html?articleId=193317 and you have to klick on "Ausfuehrliche Details" for the specs) (euro 599,-) There's also a 19" TFT & 3D-glasses set available ( ...?articleId=193301 ) Gregor ------------------------------------- Dr. Gregor Witte University of Munich Gene Center/Institute of Biochemistry mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: CCP4 bulletin board [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Im Auftrag von Anastassis Perrakis Gesendet: Montag, 4.

(any windows hints are welcome as well). Tassos On Feb 4, 2008, at 10:12, Pedro M.
