3D vision support in Linux drivers
Hi! I have a PC with both Windows and Linux installed. Recently I bought an ASUS monitor bundled with Nvidia 3D tech. Under Windows this works perfectly, but on Linux (my preferred OS) there are no 3D support in the Nvidia drivers. I am aware that Quadro FX cards are supported under Linux, but after googling for any info as to if the Nvidia drivers for "regular" cards will support 3D Vision, I find next to no info. So I ask; Are there any plans to include 3D support also in the Linux version of the drivers? (Please apologize if I did post in the wrong forum now, I was uncertain if I should post it under "drivers" or here in "3D Vision")

As far as I know, it's the same driver for both for 2D support. But for 3D Vision, it's Quadro only. You need the 3 pin stereo connector for the emitter that the pro cards have. http://www.nvidia.com/object/quadro_pro_graphics_boards_linux.html?ClickID=dwrswryskornrohmcyktkzzrsh02xnkhmymy

Thanks for your replies D-Man but like I say in the first post, I am aware of the Linux 3D vision support of the Quatro cards. Furthermore I am aware of the 2D support in the proprietary drivers of Nvidia. On Windows the 2D drivers (whom I call the "regular" drivers) also support the Nvidia 3D Vision drivers. And that's what I wonder, if those same drivers for Linux eventually will offer the same support. I mean, the magic should all be in the hardware so I really don't understand why it's not already there?

Maybe it's because Linus Torvalds called NVIDIA The Worst Company Ever. He also extended his middle finger to Nvidia :P

Well... It actually depends on what you understand by 3D Vision Support under linux. If you are interested in playing games then NO to answer is NO. Even under Windows the nVapi doesn't offer an automatic stereo 3D algorithm for OpenGL only for Direct3D. However, you can still run 3D Vision under any OpenGL application that you write under Linux very easy. It even offers some better compatibility than Windows. On Windows starting with 311 release they enabled openGL support for 3D Vision (aka the quad buffering) but requires an app to be in exclusive fullscreen On Linux this is not required. Windowed application run in 3D just fine. However enabling 3D vision under Linux is not done automatically by the driver. I would suggest reading this awesome article. So far, I managed to run all my applications (which I coded) in OpenGl + 3D Vision under Ubuntu: http://users.csc.calpoly.edu/~zwood/teaching/csc572/final11/rsomers/ Best Regards
