Regarding the capability, a lot of FireGL cards have the stereo mini-DIN, even cards as old as my 8800. I imagine that nouveau will also support Quadros that can do stereo. You can theoretically run stereo even on cards without the special port, however, by using a video pass-through to detect vblank. The lower-end, old-school 3D glasses do this. It's never been integrated into Mesa, but people have posted patches over the years for the Radeon and Matrox drivers. By now, I expect it would take significant effort to forward-port them. -- Thanks, Donnie Donnie Berkholz Developer, Gentoo Linux Blog: http://dberkholz.wordpress.com
