This is something I've been wondering about since I found an old site explaining how to make the [url="http://www.vrealities.com/visettepro.html"]Visette HMD[/url] work with an nVidia Quadro card. Unfortunately, the page was old (2003) and the method looked rather like a hack.
Basically, this is my question: would a Visette HMD be able to work with a normal (not Quadro) nVidia card, with modern stereo drivers, and if not, why not? I seem to recall that the latest version supports dual screen display, and the Visette acquires video data from 2 distinct sources, so theoretically it should work... did anyone ever try it?
Also, I'm wondering how a stereo image looks like with a Visette HMD: it has a wide FOV (60 degrees diagonal) but a low resolution (640*480). Does it look all pixelated?

Yes,
I think., it is only necesary declaring in normal 3D NV Drivers the second possibility = dual VGA output (Vrex). Little problematic is native resolution of this HMD (too low).
