Hi, Yong.
Thanks for the tip. I think that Warren's instructions were meant to
be used before NVIDIA came out with an USB stereo driver for Quadro
graphics boards.
Anyway, I don't know how, but my problem went away, without my doing
nothing else than reinstalling drivers a couple of times.
I also tested an older Quadro FX 580 on a Windows Vista system, which
required a VBIOS update from PNY support and is now working fine too.
Cheers,
Pedro.

Hi Pedro,
It does work. I have used the FX380 card on a desktop with XP. You can
follow the excellent instruction from the late Warren DeLano (available
from Pymol site). You need both drivers for the card and the 3D kit.

winCoot in stereo with 120Hz Monitor and Quadro graphics card
According to the info I could gather from the NVIDIA site and this
list, it should be possible to run winCoot in stereo with the NVIDIA
3D Vision system using a 120Hx monitor and a Quadro FX 380 card.
Moreover, it should work for Windows XP, Vista and 7. Well, I've
tried it and couldn't get it to work, past a few "hiccups". The
emitter doesn't even turn bright green. I followed NVIDIA's
instructions for setting up the system and the drivers, but no luck.
I tried it also with a FX 580 (which should require a VBIOS update)
and there I got a bit further along. The emitter turns bright green,
a double image appears on the screen but no stereo is visible through
the glasses. I used a game demo (Tomb Raider Underworld) as a test
for Direct3D stereo and it works on both cards.
My question to this community is: has anyone tried this with success?
If so, how did you do it?
In the NVIDIA forums (forums.nvidia.com) there is a topic
http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=156751 where the driver
developers ask about needed features. One of them is OpenGL support
for 3D Vision (GeForce). I suggest those interested sign up and make
their voice heard regarding this topic.
