3D Vision Ubuntu 11.04
Hi,

I have recently purchased a notebook with Nvidia Geforce GTS 350M. The 3D Vision is working perfectly in Windows 7 but I was wondering if it would be possible to use the 3D Vision in Ubuntu also. I have the nvidia drivers installed correctly but I don't know how to activate the 3D vision in ubuntu. I've made some "googling" and I found some topics saying that it's only possible to use 3D vision with Quadro cards... is that true?

Thanks,
Talita

3D Vision is primarily used with the Nvidia driver for DirectX games, so I doubt you will have any luck getting that working in Linux (in terms of gaming). If you just want to use the glasses in Linux, with your own 3D applications (ie OpenGL) then it may be possible with a little work. I don't think there is any ready-made solution, but if you know how to code, you might be able to get it to work. Here are some threads that might be of interest.
