Hi
would it be possible to play 3D movies in linux with a consumer-grade nvidia card? I understand that windows 3D vision is closely bound to directX, and that enabling quad-buffered OpenGL on consumer cards would damage quadro sales, but maybe VDPAU could be somehow used to (more likely be extended to be able to) display 3D video on the same setup that 3D vision on windows uses (geforce card, 120hz LCD and USB IR emitter)?
please don't suggest buying quadro cards for home-entertainment purposes, as they easily cost more than the rest of the PC, and that is simply too much for just 3D video.
I see this as a hole in market, 3D video is today's craze, and HTPCs with embedded linux are not uncommon, with VDPAU being the most usable platform for HD content decoding.
thanks
