Hello Yong,
concerning the driver problematics, anybody interested can find more
information on
"https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/4845/~/3d-vision-end-of-life---faq";
where nvidia makes for example the following statements:
1) R418 graphics drivers will be the last driver to contain the 3D
Vision driver package. The R418 branch will be supported until January 2020.
2) NVIDIA will decouple the 3D Vision USB driver from the graphics
driver. NVIDIA will provide the 3D Vision USB driver package as a
separate installer on NVIDIA.com ..... This will allow users to
upgrade the graphics driver while continuing to use the standalone 3D
Vision USB driver.
So one can upgrade the windows driver for the GPU only but will need a
stand-alone 3D Vision driver as explained.
Some people are trying to solve the "Linux problem" by reverse
engineering, see http://www.open-terrain.org/index.php/Projects/3DVision
.... But as you noted, the 3D Vision kit is history.
Concerning Epiphany, not sure you can still purchase this brand. Seems
there are only few companies left that produce shutter glasses and
emitters. One of them is XPAND https://xpandvision.com which is well
known and produces glasses for Sony, NEC and other brands. They also
sell emitters that come with a 3-pin DIN stereo plug for connecting
directly to the GPU or bracket. I think the prices for the glasses are
okay if compared to the original Streographics Crystal Eyes 3D glasses,
see http://www.ultimate3dheaven.com/stcrey33dgl3.html.

Jeroen

The discontinuation of support for 3D Vision in the driver actually
does not impair the use of stereo as quad buffered stereo is still
supported. Use of driver beyond 390.41 is fine. Sometimes you are
forced to use the latest version because of some other
incompatibility. The trouble is with the hardware support, no more 3D
Vision hardware kit. An important piece of information from Zhuang is
the hardware “from a not-so-often-heard vendor called epiphany”.
Anybody else has good experience with this vendor? I don’t see 3D
glasses or emitter from their catalog.

Hi Pedro,
Zhuang's problem was finally solved by installation of the latest
nvidia graphics card driver 511.79.
WinCoot works on windows 10, no doubt: Nvidia however stopped
supporting the 3D Vision kit from within (professional) graphics
drivers and instead offers a stand-alone separate 3D Vision driver
390.41 that will not be updated in the future (only in case of
security issues). So, how long this work-around will be useful is
unknown..... For the future this means, one probably needs to purchase
the much more expensive GPUs...
For linux, there is an absolute requirement for the 3-pin connector
(either build-in or attachable via bracket) as the USB-based 3D Vision
kit was never actively supported by Nvidia under linux (and that is
indeed a commercial decision...).
"Specs" will not help to select the GPU as even the small P400 or P620
offers - according to specs - 3D quad-buffered openGL stereo support
(that is, under Windows and making use of the 3D Vision kit). What you
need under Linux is an nvidia GPU with an on-board 3-pin DIN stereo
connector or, a GPU with a connector for the 3-pin DIN stereo bracket
(NVIDIA 699-50764-0000-001 or PNY 930-50764). So, for the GPU, one
needs to pick a second hand model such as K / M /P4000, or newer
models such as rtx 4000 or rtx a4000 (a2000 will not work)...
Cheers,
Jeroen

Hi there,
Coot stereo not working under Windows is a common problem. There
seems to be a driver incompatibility that causes the issues you
described. In our lab, we were able to use Coot stereo only under
Windows 7, not on later Windows versions.
As for the Linux hardware you do need a more expensive graphics
card - as far as I know there is no technical reason for the 3-pin
connector requirement and it may be just a commercial decision by
NVIDIA to require this. However, since NVIDIA discontinued the 3D
Vision support these cards may be more difficult ro obtain.
Basically you need a NVIDIA Quadro K4000, similar or higher specs
- it should support 3D Vision stereo (maybe this is indicated in
the specs and/or in the box).

Pedro

Hi Jeroen,
Thank you so much for your response. I use a Win10 pro with
Nvidia graphics driver 442.92 and 3D vision controller driver
390.41, and BenQ XL2411P 3D monitor. The IR emitter is
connected to the computer only via USB, and together with 3D
glasses, was from a not-so-often-heard vendor called epiphan.
It works pretty fine in UCSF chimera and PyMOL, so I assume
the hardware and software configuration is correct. I did
enable the stereo mode in Nvidia control panel.
This is the first time I setup a 3D work environment, and I
used Win10 to make thing less complicated. Next time I would
like to set up 3D workstation in Linux. Could you please
kindly provide the hardware list that is guaranteed working
with Linux? Could you please clarify what a 3-PIN connector is
and how is it making things different?
Thank you in advance.
Zhuang

Please also check the following......
1. On Windows 10, make sure “3D display mode” is set to “On”
in Windows settings: Settings --> Display --> Advanced
2. Make sure OpenGL is turned on: --> Manage 3D Settings -->
Global Presets --> OpenGL rendering GPU --> <choose your
graphics cards - for my laptop it is Quadro K5000M>
3. Make sure Stereo is turned on: --> Manage 3D Settings -->
Global Presets --> Stereo - Enabled >
4. if steps 1-3 do not help, rollback the driver: 12/29/2016
Version 21.21.13.7654

More info would be good....
What windows version?
What nvidia driver version?
Monitor type?
Quadro P620? This one does not have a 3-pin connector for
signal output....
Are you by any chance trying to use "Nvidia Vision" glasses
with an usb-emitter to view the 3D output? This option is no
longer supported with the newer nvidia drivers....

Hi guys,
When I switched mono to hardware stereo, my coot window
stuck. I tried 0.9.7 0.9.6 0.8.7, they look all the
same. I used an AMD CPU and Quadro P620 card, and the
hardware setup is working for PyMOL and UCSF Chimera.
Please see screenshot as attached, and any input would be
appreciated.
