You can do that even without glasses - if the mode is broken/unsupported you get an OpenGL error about unsupported visual. I tried googling for some additional info and didn't find anything. If this is true, it would be the first consumer Nvidia device that would have it, not to mention a laptop. Normally only the high-end Quadros have this feature enabled. The hardware is on the GeForces too for the most part, but disabled/unsupported by the drivers. It used to be possible to hack the driver/card to think it is a Quadro and enable this, but that hack doesn't work since a few years any more. > On another Stereo note, sadly Philips has stopped making their 3DWow > range so looks like OSGs support will not be as great as I had hoped. Well, to be honest, this was a solution looking for both a problem and a market, in my opinion. With no 3D content to show on these ueber-expensive TVs, I wonder what did the managers smoke to think it was a good idea ... On the other hand, getting a projector is possible under 200-300 EUR these days, so two DLP projectors, a simple jig, pair of filters and you have a better passive stereo than any of those TVs, and not tied to any particular graphic card or drivers (anything with two outputs will do). With the new LED projectors you can even have a desktop solution (up to 60" image in normal ambient light) without having to worry about the lamp costs ...
