Hi there, I am wondering if anyone of you knows if I can use my Nvidia GTX295 together with the 3D vision glasses and a Samsung SyncMaster 120Hz screen to view 3D in Chimera using a Debian Lenny or a Windows 7 OS. About two years ago, Nvidia said they will support Unix systems with their glasses. However, up to now there is no news about that. Do you have any idea or even a way to get 3D on in Chimera using the hardware above ? Many thanks. Cheers, Joern
From a thread of nvnews [1], it seems that there are no plan to support GeForce but only Quadro GPU [3]. A preliminary support is available since 195.36.03 [3] and you can find it in the manual of the current driver release in [4].

No. Take a look here : http://pymolwiki.org/index.php/Stereo_3D_Display_Options#LCD_Displays_.28120...
Hi Joern, The Chimera developer who knows this best, Greg Couch, is out today. But in the past he has said that Chimera requires a Quadro card to work with the Nvidia lcd glasses because only the quadro cards support stereo-in-a-window that Chimera uses. We have those glasses with a Quadro card and some version of Windows and a 120Hz Samsung flat-panel monitor and the stereo is the best I've seen -- bright and no ghosting. The non-quadro cards do only full-screen stereo used by video games. Tom

We have some stereo notes hidden with the installation instructions that need to be more prominent -- see <http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/1.4.1/stereo.html>. But to summarize, you'll need a NVidia Quadro card. See the "NVIDIA 3D Vision for Quadro" information at <http://www.nvidia.com/object/quadro_pro_graphics_boards.html>. - Greg On 4/19/2010 11:16 AM, Thomas Goddard wrote:
