I use a Fire GL 2 (now distibuted from ATI) and I have quadbuffer stereo support
in java 3d under WinNT. (Unluckily I have no  shutter glasses for the card,
since we use Stereographics Crystal Eyes system - so I can't tell you if it
really works. But i get left and right images).

regards
Paul

PS: You have to manually activate quadbuffer support in the driver settings.

PPS: Who else has got a working stereo configuration running on a PC. Maybe
j3d.org can put a list in the FAQ ?
