Hello Randy,
Unfortunately, the CE3s are not compatible with the new 120Hz LCDs from Viewsonic and Samsung. We are currently looking at a few possible solutions. When we have something, we'll post it on our website.
Thanks,

Hello,
I'd like to know if the CrystalEyes (CE-3) should work with the Viewsonic Fuhzion (120Hz) monitor? Just looking at the monitor thru them, it is very dark. Running glxgears in stereo does not work.
If they should indeed work, then perhaps I need a different nvidia driver.
Linux-x86_64 nvidia driver version: 180.29 GPU 0 (Quadro FX 5600)
thanks, Randy Heiland

I don't remember how we configured our Linux machine for stereo, but the alternative to using the GUI to configure the X server for stereo, is to read the documentation that came with the NVidia driver in /usr/share/doc/NVIDIA_GLX-1.0/README.txt and configure xorg.conf with a text editor. Look in "Appendix D. X Config Options" for the "Stereo" and "AllowDFPStereo" options.
Good luck,
Greg

Hello again gang,
I'm guessing someone there can help me get past this - I know Greg has offered advice elsewhere.
My subject line says it all - I want to get stereo working on this machine. Trying something more basic than chimera:
$ glxgears -stereo Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered, Stereo visual
$ glxinfo -v|grep stereo bufferSize=32 level=0 renderType=rgba doubleBuffer=1 stereo=0 bufferSize=32 level=0 renderType=rgba doubleBuffer=1 stereo=0 ...
It's not obvious to me where/how one enables stereo via System-
Prefs- More Prefs->nvidia x server settings
The specs: Linux-x86_64 nvidia driver version: 180.29
GPU 0 (Quadro FX 5600) mem 1536 MB PCI Express 16x X screens: Screen 0 Display: Apple Cinema HDDisplay (DFP-1)
GPU 1 (Quadro NVS 290) 256 MB PCI Express 16x X screens: none Display: none
with an Apple 30" Cinema HDDisplay currently attached (and a ViewSonic Fuhzion, 120Hz as something else to experiment with). Currently have CrystalEyes.
I'd welcome any advice you might have. thanks, Randy
