I should add that I have only seen Joel Bard's Zalman monitor briefly.
We tweaked the settings a bit to improve the representation in the
following way:
1) use nvidia-settings to override application anti-aliasing - crank it
up to 16x if you have a good graphics card
2) add to ~/.coot file (or otherwise initialise coot with):
(set-map-line-width 2)
After that, it looked quite good (I thought).
For the record, I do not think that Coot questions are off-topic on
ccp4bb. Having said that, you might like to fine-tune your audience by
posting to the Coot list (see the Coot Web page for details).

The Zalman defeats these with a very smart trick. We got out first
one, and it's really very good, albeit not perfect in some details.
Pymol and Coot worked just like that with it.

Hi Ajit;
One of our CRT monitors broke recently, and in the context of
bemoaning the loss to a friend I was told that LCD monitors will not
work for stereo viewing. I understood the reason to be related to the
difference in refresh rates (?), with LCD's not being fast enough so
that the viewer is left seeing ghosts. The effect, which I have not
seen first hand, was described to me as capable of making most hapless
stereo viewers very ill, very fast. I would encourage you to plumb the
depths of knowledge on this subject further, but that is my simple
understanding.
Best wishes~

Hello everyone,
Sorry for a non-CCP4 related question again. Can anyone let me
know how to make stereo work on linux with Zalman monitor with Coot?
Is it as simple as what we do with CRT monitors? Or do we need
something else? We presently use CRT monitors on a Quadro FX 4600
graphics card. I would like to move to LCDs.
Thanks for all inputs
Ajit B.
