[PyMOL] WARNING: No Mac or Linux support for 120 Hz LCD synchronization

2009-07-17 Thread Warren DeLano
Just to make sure everyone understands: Stereo 3D support for these awesome new 120 Hz LCD displays is WINDOWS ONLY due to the need of a special USB driver for the 3D Vision sync emitter. Unfortunately, you cannot sync a digital 120 Hz LCD using the old stereo analog DIN sync connector - it

Has anyone tried these with the old CrystalEyes glasses? We are looking to get one of these to try, but it is hard to understand why there should even be a need for a different graphics driver or a newer Quadro card to use it that way. The FX1100 cards we still have in some of our Linux

Has anyone tried these with the old CrystalEyes glasses? (snip) So other than needing to specify the Modeline manually in the X config files, why shouldn't this just work? The goggles have a polarizers on the front and back surfaces of each goggle lens. Similarly, the LCD display have

Malcolm, Yes, a reasonable person might expect it to work...but we have tried on both Mac and Linux, and it doesn't work with either CystalEyes or NuVision hardware. I don't think Modeline timings have any meaning when generating a true digital display signal, but regardless, the actual

Minor correction, for geeks who care about technical trivia. I previously wrote: I don't think [VGA] Modeline timings have any meaning when generating a true digital display signal... Apparently the modeline timings do still have significance in terms of digital information transport, which
