Thanks to everyone who gave helpful suggestions; I now have stereo working on
Ubuntu 18.04.
To help anyone who comes across this in the CCP4 archives in the future, it was
necessary to:
1) Install lightdm and set it as the default display manager. Other display
managers that don't do compositing may also work.
2) Install a suitable desktop environment (I used gnome flashback metacity in
the end, but XFCE also works).
3) Edit the Xorg configuration (which is now a series of files in
/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d) to include "Stereo" "10", and "Composite" "Disable".
The step I was missing was the first one. In Ubuntu 16.04, stereo worked
without having to do this.
Thanks again,
Chris

Apologies for the only slightly relevant question.
Does anyone know the correct incantations to get nVidia 3D Vision glasses
and emitter working with Ubuntu 18.04?
None of the tricks that work with 16.04 are helping with the new release.
In particular, disabling composite in the extensions makes the display blank
while X11 restarts itself every few seconds.
Thanks in advance,
Chris
