Hi Jean-Marie,
If a Windows 10 graphics update, messed things up, then it would
have broken other programs beside Chimera and you should
reconfigure your graphics driver as described in option 2 below.
But Chimera has builtin support for the Zalman monitors, so that
is not needed.
Option 1) Using the Chimera documentation, with the Help /
Search Documentation dialog, and then typing in Zalman, it gives
you a link to the documentation for the stereo command. And that
says to use the "row stereo, right eye even" stereo mode. If that
doesn't work, then your graphics driver is decades old and needs
updating.
Option 2) For systems with NVidia Quadro graphics, you can get
"sequential stereo" to work (which is designed for active 3D
glasses that some 3D stereo TVs have. where the graphics driver
needs to output a special signal), by reconfiguring the Quadro
graphics driver. I don't have a Quadro system in front of me
right now, so double check this -- go to the 3D settings, *not*
the stereoscopic settings, and (a) enable stereo and (b) choose
the correct stereo mode for the Zalman. Then both "sequential
stereo" and "row stereo, right eye even" will work.
Salut et bonne chance,
Greg
Hi Jean-Marie,
Your problem is very likely that Windows 10 did on automatic graphics driver update on you and the driver is broken in some way so Chimera cannot do the Zalman rendering. You can rollback graphics driver updates on Windows 10 — you’ll have to search online how to do that.

Hi,_______________________________________________
I am a long time user of chimera and had never such a problem.
I would like to use the interlaced stereo with a zalman monitor but I get the following error :
Unable to turn on stereo viewing (Unable to find hardware stereo support
(couldn't choose pixel format
Couldn't configure togl widget)).
I must say that VMD stereo is working. But I understood also that both programs work differently with regard to steero.
My configuration:
Dell M4500 precision
Windows 10
Quadro FX 1800M driver 342.01
What can I do to get it working?
Thanks for your help.
Best regards
