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.

Cheers,
Eric

who know more than you do, who do better than you, who see more clearly than 
you.
