use a piece of cellophane to rotate the polarization (almost) 90 degrees. The cellophane won't be exactly a half wave plate, but it will be close. There may be a slight color dependency for the resulting intensities, which you can compensate for with the color balance on the monitor. You only need two small pieces, to tape over the shutters, after first rotating the cellophane to the angle where it lets the most light through. For an example, see the first and last picture in the group of 6 here:
Otherwise, you can eliminate the color dependency, at the cost of throwing out a lot of the intensity, by using a piece of linear polarizer placed
in front of the shutter and oriented halfway between its polarization and that of the monitor. This may be OK if you will work in a darkened room, so that the eyes can adapt to the lower light levels. It would likely be too dark if the room lights are on.

We have quad buffered stereo working in Linux using the 195.22 driver, a Quadro FX 3700 (you need a G8x series card or greater and the 3 pin mini din connector), the nvidia 3d vision kit, and a samsung 2233RZ. The USB only based stereo with the 3d vision kit works only on Windows (e.g. with a much cheaper Quadro FX 370). According to guys at linux-bugs@nvidia.com, nvidia currently has no future plans to port the USB stereo code to the linux driver.

Hi! This is great news! Now I read the changelog of 195.22 and it's documentation at [url="http://uk.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/195.22/README/xconfigoptions.html"]http://uk.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linu...figoptions.html[/url]

How do I tell if I have that or what is missing? Anyone who already got this working on Ubuntu?

I am trying to get several new PCs to work with Linux (SuSE 11.2), Samsung 2233RZ and 3DVision Glasses, Quadro FX3800, 3-Pin Mini Din Stereo and Driver 195.30... too. So far I also got the line
....
(WW) Feb 16 15:27:40 NVIDIA(0): USB IR emitter dongle initialization failed. Disabling stereo
....
with the NVIDIA emitter blinking red.
The lsusb command leads to the output
...
BUS 001 Device 002: ID 0955:0007 NVidia Corp.
...
Therefore I think the emitter is recognized correctly by the O/S but somehow it isn't by the NVIDIA Driver. What puzzles me, is the question for what the USB connection is needed anyhow, if the stereo sync is to be submitted by the extra cable. If it's only for power supply, you could as well use a USB-poweradapter...
The modified /etc/fstab didn't work with me here.
Another question is, wether it is necessary to have the file
/proc/bus/usb/devices
which is indicative of the recognized USB devices in some distributions.
Many modern distributions, my one also, have the usb informations moved to
/dev/bus/usb
in which the overview text file "devices" is lacking.

Hi my name is Jae-Mun Choi from BCM
Thank you all especially sabujp. Here i report successful case of Fedora 12 64bit (FC12).
My system Dell T7400 with Quardro FX 4600
Driver used: beta version of NVIDIA-Linux-X86-64-195-30.pkg2.run (nvidia website)
Monitor: Samsung Synmaster 2233RZ
IR emitor: Geforce 3D vision
OS: Fedora 12 64bit
after install the driver
#nvidia-xconfg
then
edit xorg file
#vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Following is my xorg set up (not optimized yet but works)

It works at pymol qurd buffered stereo. perfectly OK. 3D stereo in Samsung LCD under Linux (FC12) system works perfecly OK. We also setup a Zalman stereo. It also works too with out going through all this. Quality of stereo is 1000 times better with Samsung 2233RZ LCD but it requires expensive graphic card (Qurdro FX 4600 is around $2,000) and a lot of time to trouble shoot (a big head ache). Zalman LCD all you need is just plug in under FC12. no need to set up nvidia graphic drive. new noeveau(?) will do it for you even dual monitor is no problem. But you need to download new coot or pymol so it is program dependant not a graphic card dependant. I also tested Zalman LCD with even integrated intel mainbaord(I would say no graphic card it is integrated to mainborad) with old VGA cable, it works just fine. Zalman is cheap way to do LCD stereo but fonts are broken in lines very difficult to read in coot. if you know where to press then no problem or set up dual LCD.
I am now trying to set up dual monitor with this. Once again thank you all. Thank you Nvidia for give us Linux driver.

So, the answer was to wait until the drivers were availble. I recently tried version 195.36.15 from
[url="http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html"]http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html[/url]
with the Nvidia 3D Vision emitter and glasses, a Quadro FX 3700 card and
a Samsung 2233RZ monitor, and to the end of xorg.conf I added
and used
Option "Stereo" "10"
in the screen Section, and quad-buffered stereo worked perfectly.
Note that only Quadro FX cards are supported under Linux

Can anyone advise how to pursuade a windows XP machine to run the Samsung monitor at 120Hz when it doesnt apper in any of the options. I have the latest NVidia and 3D USB drivers installed. I even installed the "driver" for the monitor from the Samsung website - and even though its now in the list of displays, the settings seem to get ignored and I dont get the option of 120Hz anywhere.
I got the hardware working on Linux working for all my 3D life science applications after gritting my teeth and buying the Sync cable from SCAN. bitter pill to swallow since the US guys get it included - but their kits are more expensive I suppose.

Based on the work of Keigo Iizuka
[url="http://individual.utoronto.ca/iizuka/research/cellophane.htm"]http://individual.utoronto.ca/iizuka/research/cellophane.htm[/url]
use a piece of cellophane to rotate the polarization (almost) 90 degrees. The cellophane won't be exactly a half wave plate, but it will be close. There may be a slight color dependency for the resulting intensities, which you can compensate for with the color balance on the monitor. You only need two small pieces, to tape over the shutters, after first rotating the cellophane to the angle where it lets the most light through. For an example, see the first and last picture in the group of 6 here:
[url="http://saf.bio.caltech.edu/crystaleyes/#Optics"]http://saf.bio.caltech.edu/crystaleyes/#Optics[/url]
Otherwise, you can eliminate the color dependency, at the cost of throwing out a lot of the intensity, by using a piece of linear polarizer placed
in front of the shutter and oriented halfway between its polarization and that of the monitor. This may be OK if you will work in a darkened room, so that the eyes can adapt to the lower light levels. It would likely be too dark if the room lights are on.

Yes, it seems the USB emitter driver needs usbfs, which is not initialised by default in Ubuntu 9.10. Adding a line to /etcfstab
none /proc/bus/usb usbfs defaults 0 0
and re-booting takes things a step further. Xorg.0.log now shows:

Yes, it seems the USB emitter driver needs usbfs, which is not initialised by default in Ubuntu 9.10. Adding a line to /etcfstab
none /proc/bus/usb usbfs defaults 0 0
and re-booting takes things a step further. Xorg.0.log now shows:

I am trying to get several new PCs to work with Linux (SuSE 11.2), Samsung 2233RZ and 3DVision Glasses, Quadro FX3800, 3-Pin Mini Din Stereo and Driver 195.30... too. So far I also got the line
....
(WW) Feb 16 15:27:40 NVIDIA(0): USB IR emitter dongle initialization failed. Disabling stereo
....
with the NVIDIA emitter blinking red.
The lsusb command leads to the output
...
BUS 001 Device 002: ID 0955:0007 NVidia Corp.
...
Therefore I think the emitter is recognized correctly by the O/S but somehow it isn't by the NVIDIA Driver. What puzzles me, is the question for what the USB connection is needed anyhow, if the stereo sync is to be submitted by the extra cable. If it's only for power supply, you could as well use a USB-poweradapter...
The modified /etc/fstab didn't work with me here.
Another question is, wether it is necessary to have the file
/proc/bus/usb/devices
which is indicative of the recognized USB devices in some distributions.
Many modern distributions, my one also, have the usb informations moved to
/dev/bus/usb
in which the overview text file "devices" is lacking.
Maybe this could be the reason for failure?
Any comments are welcome.

It works at pymol qurd buffered stereo. perfectly OK. 3D stereo in Samsung LCD under Linux (FC12) system works perfecly OK. We also setup a Zalman stereo. It also works too with out going through all this. Quality of stereo is 1000 times better with Samsung 2233RZ LCD but it requires expensive graphic card (Qurdro FX 4600 is around $2,000) and a lot of time to trouble shoot (a big head ache). Zalman LCD all you need is just plug in under FC12. no need to set up nvidia graphic drive. new noeveau(?) will do it for you even dual monitor is no problem. But you need to download new coot or pymol so it is program dependant not a graphic card dependant. I also tested Zalman LCD with even integrated intel mainbaord(I would say no graphic card it is integrated to mainborad) with old VGA cable, it works just fine. Zalman is cheap way to do LCD stereo but fonts are broken in lines very difficult to read in coot. if you know where to press then no problem or set up dual LCD.
I am now trying to set up dual monitor with this. Once again thank you all. Thank you Nvidia for give us Linux driver.

I got the hardware working on Linux working for all my 3D life science applications after gritting my teeth and buying the Sync cable from SCAN. bitter pill to swallow since the US guys get it included - but their kits are more expensive I suppose.
Any suggestions for XP gratefully received.
