I can't say I'm terribly surprised. Maybe I'm wrong and there is some good technical reason why they can't enable stereo Pbuffers, but nVidia also has a habit of disabling features in their drivers purely for marketing reasons. Theoretically, it might be possible to make VirtualGL emulate stereo using two Pbuffers or even two FBOs on the same Pbuffer, but it would make the solution significantly more complex. Getting it right would cost a lot more in labor than a QuadroFX costs, and quad-buffered stereo is just not popular enough to justify re-architecting VirtualGL.
Perhaps others can chime in as to whether Grid adapters work properly. Out of curiosity, what were you planning to use as a client? That's the other hell of quad-buffered stereo-- you need a card on the client as well that can draw in stereo, which probably means another Quadro.
