Hi David, We have had success with the ASUS VG248QE connected with DisplayPort, on an HP Z620 running RHEL 6.4.
We like to have dual stereo displays on Linux, and Nvidia is discontinuing many of the cheaper multi-DVI-port cards. We had no success trying to take two Acer DVI monitors and connect them to DP on a Quadro 4000 (not K4000) using various DP/DVI adapters. So we decided we had to switch entirely to native DP connections and chose the VG248QE. No built in emitter on this monitor, however. So I think if you want to use this on Linux, you will need the K4000 or higher. We bought a K5000 to test it with, assuming we could fall back to the K5000's dual DVI ports and our old DVI monitors if DP didn't work. But since we got DP to work, we will probably go with the K4000 for our next batch of Linux workstations, since it appears to be the minimum card that works on Linux with the 3-pin emitter, and also provides two DP connectors. We had problems getting the correct stereo 3-pin bracket adapter for these cards; our reseller initially sent us the wrong one that is apparently for older Nvidia cards (very nice of them to change the plug periodically!) but we were able to get the correct one by talking directly to HP. The card will drive the monitor at 144 Hz when stereo is disabled in the X server config file, but it drops to 120 Hz in stereo mode, which I assume is probably the maximum shutter speed on the 3D Vision Pro glasses.
