My personal bias is that the added cost to obtain real QBS hardware with built-in stereo support is well worth the money in terms of time saved on bugs and hassles such as this.
Under Linux, the nVidia Quadro4 750XGL does a fine job, has a three-pin stereo sync plug, and works with the Nuvision glasses and emitters. While I haven't tested the higher-end FX series, I have every reason to believe that they would also work just fine given nVidia's unified driver architecture.
