Nice to know, thanks for confirming this.

Nvidia coming to senses is unlikely, though - otherwise they would be
undercutting their ueber expensive Quadro line - there is little reason
to shell out money for a Quadro these days unless you need stereo or
genlock (e.g. for a cave). This is also likely why we are not going to
see the "consumer stereo" support for OpenGL any time soon, I think :(

Very much so! Apple HW looks quite attractive from this POV for
development. BTW, if the stereo works, it is likely using the DDC pin to
send out the flipping signal since it does not have a separate stereo
output connector. If you have a DVI-VGA converter, try to hook up an
oscilloscope to the pin 13 (I think) - you should see a TTL (~5 V) level
square wave signal at the refresh rate of your monitor when the stereo
is on.

I will try to round up one of our Mac users here and subject their Mac
to some testing :-p

This would be pretty good to know - few people have such means to test
things :)
