Thank you, I had missed the settings on that other place. Now it works quite well. (barring some issues with external monitor) I also noticed that overlay setting in same menu should be on or whole desktop would get blurry (with or without stereo glasses on). -vpk On 3/1/11 10:36 PM, Greg Couch wrote:

If both Chimera and PyMol are complaining, then you've haven't configured OpenGL stereo correctly. The NVidia Quadro driver configuration has two places to setup stereo. There are the "Stereoscopic 3D" settings that are not helpful for chimera (except for making NVIDIA's stereo image viewer work). So in addition to that, you want to setup stereo in the "3D Settings / Manage 3D Settings" dialog. In there, turn on "Stereo - Enable" and select the appropriate kind of stereo in "Stereo - Display mode".

Good luck,

Greg

I have done all of these and as I said in my original e-mail I got the full screen tests nvidia provides working. Problem is that when I try to start Chimera or PyMol it fails complaining that 3d vision mode isn't available. So question still basically is if it's possible to get it working with Quadro 880M

also see : http://www.pymolwiki.org/index.php/Stereo_3D_Display_Options#NVidia_NVision_...

. It has some instructions on how to setup 3d vision on windows.

IIRC there's an option in the windows nvidia configuration utility that enables and disables nvidia 3d vision. I assume that's the setup you're trying to use, so check that to see if it's enabled or disabled.

Hi Veli-Pekka,

This is either a driver configuration problem or driver limitation or driver bug. Your driver is from Oct 2010 and there are newer ones. The following 266.58 driver was released Jan 18, 2011 and the notes say it adds support for various "3d vision notebooks". Maybe the new driver is needed.

I installed back the newest driver and problem still persist. So it's problem either with driver or the card. 880M isn't very high end on the Quadro Cards.

...

If it is a driver configuration problem, I don't know about that. Our expert on stereo and Windows is on vacation this week but can advise you next week. Seems that I will be waiting for that. Thank you for your reply. And hope to hear from you next week.
