We have a similar card ASUS v6600/v6800 before that have the same behavior as you mention. The driver doesn't support the standard mechanism for stereo but can enable it through the driver option panel even for application which do not aware of stereo. As I mention this is done in the driver specific way, most likely they get the single projection matrix and try to manipulate with it to produce 2 projection matrix with the option set in the display card control panel - Eyes/Distance/Embossment etc... >From the manual they have the above options to set in the driver control panel so you can try setting the eyes and distance to make it look better under Java3D. - Kelvin --------------- Java 3D Team Sun Microsystems Inc. =========================================================================== To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff JAVA3D-INTEREST".
