Just thought I'd add to this thread, in hopes that it may save others some time...

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,

Subject: CrystalEyes and Viewsonic FuHzion

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
