Hopefully somebody's run into this one previously, and can give me some hints...
I've almost gotten a new stereo system setup (x64 running kubuntu feisty) using a PNY nvidia quadro 4500 graphics card and nuvision 60GX emitter (and a DEC CRT monitor...) with the nvidia (not nv) xorg driver. Almost in the sense that Xorg.0.log reports stereo as functional (stereo 3 in xorg.conf), and coot and pymol both act like they've got hardware stereo (stdout in the respective terminal, and display window shows two slightly offset, overlapping images): but the emitter doesn't power on (no LED illumination, and also no power switch...although I have hopefully flipped the "reverse stereo" switch on the back a few times). The nvidia kernel module is loaded, and glxinfo shows nvidia in the vendor string. The ati fglrx driver required a separate option for stereo sync; but from the documentation it doesn't appear that the nvidia driver does. I've tested the emitter on another system, and it works fine there. I've also tried the drivers from the ubuntu repositories and directly from nvidia (both behave the same way). Does anyone have suggestions for further troubleshooting? Or, even better, am I missing something obvious? Thanks, Pete Pete Meyer Fu Lab BMCB grad student Cornell University
