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 On Fri, 17 Apr 2009, Randy Heiland wrote:
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
