It is indeed possible to get Jmol to work with a passive 3d setup,
i.e.
using two projectors polarized perpendicular to each other and
a non-depolarizing screen.
Set up graphics display on the laptop to extended mode for the
external VGA
signal and open a Jmol page in the extended display
area, invoke the
side-by-side stereo display mode (cross-eyed or
wall-eyed.. one of these
will be correct depending on your
connections) and one side will go to
one projector, the other side to
the other projector. The built-in
laptop screen can be used for the
script window while the Jmol page
displays on the external
screen...very convenient. This gadget is not
expensive...CDW sells
analog version for $149
Thanks for the responses! The setup I'm working with already works
with DS Viewer Pro (we have the proper video card, silver screen, and
3d glasses). I will definitely try this new way to get the
cross-eyed/wall eyed views to work. Just to confirm, I should 'extend
the desktop' and open a Jmol on the extended screen. I'm concerned
that this will simply show 2 side-by-side images, just like when you
select this stereographic mode on the monitor (as opposed to two
overlapping images, one of a slightly different angle).
Here is the setup I'm working with:

It would be great to show a 3D animation of an enolation or similar
rxn before the semester ends!

Yes, you should set the graphics display mode to extended (rather than
mirror), move the Jmol window into the extended screen...which should
move it off your laptop screen, then maximize the window and it should
extend the standard view across the two screens. But when you invoke the
side-by-side mode, each external screen should get exactly one of the
views. At least this is how the DualHead2Go adapter works in our
experience. If your graphics card has two outputs, and you bypass the
Matrox adapter, I am not sure how things will work but I would think it
would be OK.
I would practice the setup in my office using two external monitors to
which I would connect the two outputs of the DualHead2Go....and when the
side-by-side mode results in a full image on each monitor, then it will
work OK with the two projectors.
