We use the ASUS VG278 monitor with built-in IR emitter under
linux.Stereo works perfectly without 3 pin connector.
Monitor is connected via (dual-link) DVI cable (stereo option 10 in
xorg.conf). This should work with any Quadro card.
The monitor is big and esp. bright in 3D due to it's NVIDIA 3D
LightBoost technology (3D Vision 2). Much better for use of 3D in not so
dark rooms.

And that is because the emitter is powered by the screen and its
presence is detected via the HDMI monitor cable (and the signal to the
emitter is sent the same way). Use of these screens is via different
driver option (stereo option of 12) and there is a more limited range
available.
I have no experience of running with this option, as being early(ish)
adopters, we have a mix of Alienware OptX AW2310 and Samsung SyncMaster
2233RZ screens. I would be interested in how stable the stereo is, when
a low powered graphics card is under heavy load.
Having a graphics card with more power is not a waste of money (the CUDA
drivers used by the molecular simulation groups show what can be done).
The extra cost is quite small compared to the costs of getting crystals
in the first place!!

On Linux here the ASUS Monitor with build in Emitter runs fine even on a
FX 380 Quadro without 3pin connection!

Why a quadro 4000? For coot, pymol, etc., a quadro 2000 is more than
sufficient. Even the quadro 600 will do fine.
Except for a linux installation, as the 3 pin bracket is only available
on the Quadro 4000 (and higher)
I noticed that the Nvidia linux driver has options for USB port etc.
which suggests that in the near future USB ports can be used under
linux for an external USB IR emitter. Can somebody comment on this
please?
The driver only seems to use the USB connection for power and for
identifying that the emitter is connected. I don't think that there are
any plans to use USB to drive the stereo synchronisation (the mention of
USB has been in the release notes for many years now).
