(Apologies to those who have already seen this on the PyMol list)
Does anyone have experience of a working Mac Pro/Quadro FX 4800/120Hz
flat screen setup? I'm trying to put one together, and am getting
nowhere.
We have:
- Mac Pro (early 2010, MacPro 5,1) running 10.6.4
- Quadro FX 4800 for Mac
- nVidia drivers Retail_256.01.00f03 (latest as of 19/10/2010)
- nVidia IR emitter and glasses set connected by DIN and USB cables
- ViewSonic Fuhzion VX2268WM, refresh 120Hz
We have working Linux setups that are the same as this (apart from the
Mac Pro), and I've tested that the graphics card, monitor, glasses and
emitter all work in Stereo.
With the Mac, I've tried both Stereo-capable native apps (PyMol
incentive product, QtMG) and X11 apps (Coot). The problem is that the
emitter refuses to turn on; it just sits there flashing red. The
display looks as it should for stereo.
nVidia's support for Mac is effectively non-existent, so I'm hoping
that someone on ccp4bb has got this working in the past and knows the
correct incantations.
Regards,
Chris
