I am wondering what is the status, in terms of available and ease of use, for stereoscopic 3D on Linux using either GeForce or Quadro cards. I do have 2 sets of 3D vision 2 emitter+glasses and a bunch of Quadro/Geforce cards, while at the same time not being able to use stereoscopic 3D on my Fedora workstation for the past two years.
I know that historically there was a problem with composite and stereo, which was fixed almost 2 years ago in a driver update. However that left some responsibility for the Linux desktop manager to be aware of something (couldn't remember the term) in order to really allow 3D. I am wondering if any recent GNOME/GNOME-on-wayland version has accounted for that.
Also this week I noticed there is a one-line release highlight in the NVIDIA Linux driver 367.57:
"Added support for NVIDIA 3D Vision 2 Stereo on Linux. This IR emitter can be used with stereo mode "10" set in the X configuration file."
My question is, however, that isn't the support already there for the last 2 or 3 years? Does it mean that NVIDIA has made some breakthrough in terms of capability with major desktop managers? How can I make stereo 3D work on my Fedora 24 workstation again?
Please correct me if I understand anything wrong.
