        Hi,
         
        For supporting a wide variety of software I think it would be the best 
choice to have an openGL quad buffered stereo device running. 
        The fact that Harry did have success with a 120 Hz TFT-Monitor, the 
Quadro FX3800 (3-Pin Mini-Din) with 195.x drivers and 3D-Vision Glasses under 
Linux is due to the fact that he uses a Linux distribution which is related to 
RHEL. 
         
        I just tried exactly the same thing with OpenSuSE 11.2 and couldn't get 
it to work at all. The reason, at least how I got it after a long, long 
discussion with custhelp.nvidia appears to be that some distributions mount USB 
devices under /proc/bus/usb/devices (works...) and some under /dev/bus/usb 
(doesn't work). In OpenSuSE, which belongs to the latter class, the driver 
appears to look under the non existing /proc/bus/usb/devices, doesn't find the 
entry for the 3D-Vision emitter and refuses to switch on stereo. The nvidia 
guys tested it with RHEL 5, which belongs to the former class of distributions. 
Unfortunately the USB Emitter must be recognized for reasons I do not know by 
the driver although the sync signal runs via the 3-Pin Mini-Din.
        
        

This is easy to fix:
put a line in /etc/init.d/boot.local:
mount /proc/bus/usb

I have 4 systems up runnig openSuse 11.2


        Another question of concern is wether the chipset on the FX1800 is 
supported by the 195.x driver at all. You should look this up with nvidia.
         
        Regards,
         
        Joachim

                Dear PyMolers,
                
                We are on the process of buying a 3D monitor for stereo 
rendering. The main software we use for visualization is PyMOL, in Linux 
(preferably OpenSuse), so it is mandatory that it works well with Pymol. We 
might use stereo with other programs like Maestro (Schrödinger) or MOE (CCG), 
so if compatible with this other software, the better.
                Graphics Card is a nVidiaGEFORCE QUADRO FX 1800.
                
                PyMOL official recommendations was the Zalman ZMM220W, but this 
is not longer distributed, at least in Europe. So, before going for any of the 
solutions like Samgsung or  Viewsonic, and getting deep into the nightmare of 
finding out the proper X configuration, I would like to receive as much input 
as possible from recent experiences of PyMOL community. 
                
                Thanks in advance,
                
                Hugo

                        Just to let you all know that we have successfully 
tested a Viewsonic VX2268wm (I'm guessing that is the version of the VX2265wm 
sold on this side of the pond) with an nVidia Quadro 3800 (3pin stereo version) 
under Fedora Core 12, with the nVidia 3D vision glasses, and the 195beta 
version of the driver.

                        Very high quality QB stereo under PyMOL and Coot.

                        By the way, Warren had warned us that the ATI drivers 
for Linux were not up to scratch (without even considering stereo).  Is that 
still true?

                        Thanks

                        Harry
