Here is nVidia's list http://www.nvidia.com/object/quadro_pro_graphics_boards.html This details which cards are supported for 3D vision and which have a 3 pin mini-DIN "stereo" connector. That page says cards without the connector can be used via USB, but I am not sure if that applies to Linux or just to Windows. FX1400 and FX3500 not working - are you just saying that because they do not appear on the list, or have you personally verified it? Those happen to be the cards I currently have. The FX3800 card can use a mini-DIN stereo plug on a separate PCI blank, which is sold separately. See for example: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/652465-REG/PNY_Technologies_900_50762_0000_000_QUADRO_FX_3800_STEREO.html "PNY Technologies Stereo Bracket for Quadro FX 3800" Someone posted a link for the release notes of the 195.30 beta driver last week. I can't find the link right now, but I believe it said that to be supported for 3D vision, the card has to be G82XL or newer.
