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...

He also does not mention which OS he is running, which is the next question.

Dear Claude,
why do you expect stereo to work with a laptop? Usually it requires
special equipment, e.g. a shutter system or polarizing screen and
goggles, like the Zalman 3D monitors.
Maybe you want to let us know more about your setup.

Dear All,
I just bought a new laptop with the graphics card "NVIDIA GeForce GTX
460M" with 1.5GB memory.
Unfortunately the stereo does not work with Coot (Windows or Linux).
Can Anyone help me ?
Thanks in advance,
Claude.
