Re: [Chimera-users] Stereo vision with Quadro 600
Hi Greg,
I was finally able to figure out what I was doing wrong. On the Nvidia control panel, I was changing the following settings:
Stereo - Enable: 'On' Stereo - Display mode: 'Generic active stereo (with NVIDIA 3D vision)'
For only specific programs (VMD, MOE, Chimera). That worked for VMD and MOE, but not for Chimera. As soon as I made those settings global, I was able to use stereo in Chimera. There must be other programs, like python.exe or something, that must also be stereo-enabled for this setup to work.
Thanks again for your help,
William Allen

So according to the wglinfo output, your driver is not configured for stereo. Check out the st/ro column, it is always a '.' and there should be some 'y's. So no OpenGL stereo program should work. I did try the 275.36 driver with our Quadro FX 3700, and stereo did work, so it is unclear why stereo isn't working for you. To confirm that the driver configuration is working, try one of the passive stereo options for the "Stereo - Display mode" and rerun wglinfo (or Chimera) to see if stereo is supported. You also might want to go over the driver settings with a colleague to see if either of you can spot anything, and if that doesn't work, try an earlier version of the driver.

I'll summarize what I find to chimera-users.

Hi Greg,
Thank you very much for your quick reply.
I had actually already changed those settings in the Nvidia control panel. They are as follows:
Stereo - Enable: 'On' Stereo - Display mode: 'Generic active stereo (with NVIDIA 3D vision)'
The display mode you mentioned in your reply was not an option in my Nvidia control panel. Although, this is the only setting that really makes sense for what I am doing, and I tried most of the other settings without success. I also tried toggling some of the other features in a non-random way, but without success.
These two settings, however, are the changes that made stereo in VMD and MOE start working (both of which use OpenGL). But, for whatever reason, Chimera still gives those previously mentioned errors when I try to turn on stereo. If it helps, the monitor is an Asus 120 Hz LCD display connected by a dual-link DVI cable directly to the graphics card. No DIN connector is involved.
Thanks again,
William Allen

It's should be a driver configuration issue. There are two different 3D graphics APIs on Windows, Direct3D and OpenGL, and most Windows applications use the former and Chimera uses the latter (because it works on Linux and Mac OS X too). To configure OpenGL stereo in the Quadro driver on Windows, bring up the NVIDIA Control Panel, navigate to 3D Settings, then Manage 3D Settings. And in those options, set "Stereo - Enable" to on, and "Stereo - Display mode" to the appropriate type of stereo, in your case, my guess would be "On-board DIN connector (with NVIDIA 3D Vision)".

Hello Chimera Users,
I am trying to view molecules in sequential stereo in Chimera (v 1.5.3). When I choose Camera -> Sequential Stereo, I get an error that says: "Unable to turn on stereo viewing (Unable to find hardware support / couldn't choose pixel format / Couldn't configure tool widget)".
Here is a little bit of the background:
The machine is a new Dell desktop running 64-bit Windows 7. I installed a Quadro 600 graphic cards, and I am using the Nvidia 3D vision wireless glasses kit. The version of the Nvidia driver is 275.36, which I believe is the latest version. I should also note that I was able to successfully configure VMD and MOE to work in Stereo with set up described, so I know that 3D should work, I just can't get it to work in Chimera.
Previous messages in the mailing archive seem to indicate that the specific type of graphics card or the version of the driver is usually the problem. From what I have read, the Quadro 600 should be compatible. I guess my only concern is the version of the driver. It seems there was some bugs in the 197.x, 258.x, and 259.x versions of the driver, and 266.45 was reported to work. I have version 275.36, should I be worried about a bug or is there something else I missed?
Than you for your help,
William Allen
That makes sense. On Windows, Chimera is a wrapper around CHIMERA/bin/pythonw.exe (or CHIMERA/bin/python.exe if debugging).
Thank you for following up on this,
Greg

Those settings should work for Chimera too. Please download http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/home/gregc/wglinfo.exe, run it in a terminal window (eg., All Programs / Accessories / Command Prompt), and send the results directly back to me. wglinfo lists all of the possible OpenGL framebuffer configurations and should confirm if OpenGL is reporting that stereo is available and with which graphics capabilities. I'll summarize what I find to chimera-users.

Hi Greg,
Thank you very much for your quick reply.
I had actually already changed those settings in the Nvidia control panel. They are as follows:
Stereo - Enable: 'On' Stereo - Display mode: 'Generic active stereo (with NVIDIA 3D vision)'
The display mode you mentioned in your reply was not an option in my Nvidia control panel. Although, this is the only setting that really makes sense for what I am doing, and I tried most of the other settings without success. I also tried toggling some of the other features in a non-random way, but without success.
These two settings, however, are the changes that made stereo in VMD and MOE start working (both of which use OpenGL). But, for whatever reason, Chimera still gives those previously mentioned errors when I try to turn on stereo. If it helps, the monitor is an Asus 120 Hz LCD display connected by a dual-link DVI cable directly to the graphics card. No DIN connector is involved.
Thanks again,
William Allen

It's should be a driver configuration issue. There are two different 3D graphics APIs on Windows, Direct3D and OpenGL, and most Windows applications use the former and Chimera uses the latter (because it works on Linux and Mac OS X too). To configure OpenGL stereo in the Quadro driver on Windows, bring up the NVIDIA Control Panel, navigate to 3D Settings, then Manage 3D Settings. And in those options, set "Stereo - Enable" to on, and "Stereo - Display mode" to the appropriate type of stereo, in your case, my guess would be "On-board DIN connector (with NVIDIA 3D Vision)".
