We have a machine with a Quadro FX5000 nvidia card
and a acer GN245HQ screen ("nvidia 3D vision ready")
Can this screen be used for "classical" stereo viewing?
By this i mean like it used to be with the CRTs and CrystalEye Shutter glasses.
If this is possible how must i configure card and/or xorg.conf
to enable stereo? (currently our medical viewing application
says that the screen can not do stereo)
Can i use 3D vision on this system?
If yes, how do i have to configure (card or xorg.conf)?
Is there some test application which lets me check if stereo works?
How can i trigger 3D vision stereo mode from within an application?
Please see this http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/295.20/README/xconfigoptions.html Under <Option "Stereo" "integer"> you will see various options for stereo. For NVIDIA 3D Vision you will need to set stereo option to 10 like so;
You will need to connect the IR emitter that comes with the 3D vision kit through the 3-pin stereo connector on your graphics card. Whenever you start a 3D capable program the monitor should automatically switch to 3D mode.
I would also strongly recommend disabling 'compositing' on your system by adding the following to your xorg file

Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "Disable"

Hope this helps
