Dear all, I am considering to buy a new laptop and would like to install
the latest ubuntu version and have 3D glasses. Following the discussions
in the lasts years, this issue seems to be not trivial. Which setup of
laptop and 3D glasses will work plug and play?
And what about VR. When is coot and pymol VR ready?
Best regards, Georg.

Dear all,
I had an HP Z620 that was dual boot Kubuntu 14.03 and Win 10. Coot was
working in stereo mode without any problem for a year or so. But after
one of their major updates Coot crashed as soon as the built-in IR
emitter of my Asus VG278H turned on, as described Pedro and Jan.
My personal guess is that the new Win 10 kernels no longer accept some
direct exchanges from programs to hardware parts, probably for safety
issues. So I came to the same conclusion as Pedro: stick to Win 7 if
you want to run Coot under Windows or use a linux distribution or dual
boot workstation.
Nevertheless PyMol was just working fine in stereo mode under Win 10.
At least until last september when I sold my Z620 for a Z820 (Kubuntu
18.04/Win7). May be PyMol developers at Schrödinger could give their
tips and tricks to Bernard Lohkamp to whom I send my warmest
aknowledgments for porting Coot under Windows.
Best regards,
Philippe

Hi all,
The problem with COOT stereo and Windows 10 is that the COOT binary is
not compatible with the newer OpenGL drivers or somesuch in Windows
10. So, COOT runs fine in Windows 10 but crashes if you enter hardware
stereo mode. However, PyMOL works fine in stereo in Windows 10.
According to Bernhard Lohkamp, the Windows COOT developer, this
problem has not yet been fixed because he has no access to a Windows
10 PC.
Therefore, stick to Windows 7 if you want to run COOT stereo on a
cheap Quadro card.
Best regards,
Pedro

I had a Windows 7 machine that would run Quad buffered stereo back
around 2009, haven't had a chance to try with Windows 10.

Dear all,
I started looking into the never ending story of stereo in
crystallography... As with our standardized linux setup we
probably are not willing to move to X.org-world, if was
wondering, if anybody was succesful to make stereo working in
Windows 10. I did read some NVIDIA forum, and it seems that 3d
vision is not very supported by NVIDIA, even for gamers... Was
anybody able to mke it work with Geforce cards, to save few bucks?
Best regards,

I answer a bit late, but I repost a message on 3D graphics from
Mai 2017 :
Hello,
we just wanted to share our experience in finding a
configuration which allows to use 3D graphics under linux using
Nvidia GeForce 3D glasses.
We had quite a hard time to find a configurations which works
correctly.
We finally used Debian linux with a xfce desktop. Other recent
desktops use a tiling which is not compatible with 3D graphics.
The hardware consists of
* a DELL Precision T5810 desktop computer with an Nvidia
Quadro M4000 (8 Gbyte memory, 4 DP) graphics card
* Nvidia GeForce 3D Vision 2 (NVIDIA GEF 3D VISION 2 GLASSES
KIT) active stereo glasses
* a stereo connector PNY Quadro 4000 3D for the
synchronization of graphics card and glasses
* an ASUS 24" LED 3D - VG248QE display
* a DisplayPort-DisplayPort cable
The Nvidia linux drivers from version 367.57 can handle the
current version of the Nvidia glasses.
For an obscure reason a direct DP-DP connection between graphics
card and display is absolutely required in order to obtain fully
working stereo. If a DP-DVI dual link adapter is used, the
stereo does not work on the top and the bottom part of the
screen. This is true for a native DELL active adaptor or generic
models. The exact reason remains unresolved, but the solution is
to use a direct DP-DP connection. This limits the available
choice of displays which require 120 Hz for 1080*1980 screen
resolution and a DP input. We have been choosing a “Nvidia 3D
ready” model.
There has been a considerate about of exchange about this problem on
https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/992892/linux/partially-working-stereoscopic-effect-with-3d-vision-under-debian-linux/
The setup comes with a price tag of about 1600 € free of taxes.
coot, pymol and chimera work straight without problems in
hardware stereo mode. The experience is absolutely great.
Best
Wim
