[PyMOL] hardware stereo problem
Dear Pymol users, We have a problem with one of our hardware stereo equipped PCs. For some reason, hardware stereo works fine for about 30sec but than switches to an inverted 3D image. And it keeps switching back and forth between the 'normal' 3D image and the inverted one, every 30sec. This is pretty annoying and even after reinstalling winXP, the right nvidia driver and playing around with all possible nvidia settings, we cannot find the problem. The problem is not Pymol specific, having the same problem in DSviewer. Does anybody recognize this problem? The PC (AMD X2, 4GB, Nvidia quadro4 980XGL) is running winXP and one of the latest pymol builds (1.0r2). The monitor is a high-end 21 (EIZO Flexscan T966) and we are using a stereographics emitter. Thanks a lot in advance. Best, Joris Beld ETH Zürich Switzerland

Joris, this is a well known problem with the NVIDIA cards. It gets better with the newer highend cards but does not go away completely. You may want to invest in such a card and play around with different drivers.

Joris: There is a thread (at least one, anyway) at the nvidia support forum, that may address this problem: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=85807 Note, however, that the problem the thread addresses is under linux, not windows. -- Steve Lane System, Network and Security Administrator Doudna Lab Biomolecular Structure and Mechanism Group UC Berkeley On Wed, Mar 12, 2008 at 08:46:02AM -0400, Schubert, Carsten [PRDUS] wrote: Joris, This is a well known problem with the NVIDIA cards.

Re: [PyMOL] hardware stereo problem
Joris, We used to experience this problem occasionally on Linux, but not anymore. Your best bet is to update to the latest drivers. If that does not work, then this may be an unsolvable hardware issue on older cards.
