We have mention several times before that Java3D support stereo in OpenGL ONLY if the graphic card support the STANDARD API call, which means ChoosePixelFormat is able to select a stereo surface. It is well known that both GL Fire & Wildcat support stereo in this way. If you would like stereo support under GeForce brand of graphics card, please contact Nvidia developer. - 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".
