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
