I have heard at least one person successfully test the FireGL stereo. However, these cards are quite expensive and you will get stereo much cheaper by buying the Xig server for $99. It supports stereo on almost any supported card, which excludes nVidia due to closed hardware specs. Xig test drivers can be downloaded free. I've tested stereo on ATI and MGA cards, with great success.
There is also an incomplete open source MGA driver patch for stereo. So, MGA will likely be the first full stereo support for XFree86. The last option is emulated stereo, using interlaced or above/below formats, for example. I've been working on a wrapper library to do this. I will never be as good as real stereo, but it isn't to hard to get full screen, full resolution stereo using a sync doubler and a double height screen mode. This will actually work pretty well once XFree86 can do runtime resizing.
