I've got stereo running using nVidia GeForce2MX-400 based cards and driver version 5.13.01.1241. A patch was distributed several months back that when applied to the driver enabled the quadbuffer stereo API on the card.
I've been able to use both shutter glasses and Sony glastron stereo glasses pretty well. It also (sort of) works with the TwinView -- I put it in clone mode (two VGA output cables of the same image) except that one is in stereo and the other is not (!?) Great for debugging as I use an HMD on the stereo connector and desktop monitor on the non-stereo port -- both look fine. This is with Win2000 and J3D 1.2_3 Overall I've been satisfied with the MX cards. Mark Tarlton ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mark A.
