> We are currently setting up a new 3D workstation with a Samsung > SyncMaster 2233RZ monitor and a Nvidia 3D vision glasses kit on a > Redhat Enterprise Linux box. According to Nvidia, a Quadro FX 4800, > Quadro FX 4600 or Quadro FX 3700 graphics card can be used for 3D on > Linux if it is connected via a 3-pin mini-DIN stereo connector. Has > somebody experience with such a setup? The FX 3800 will also work, but it doesn't have a mini-DIN connector. You can buy a separate riser fitted with the connector, which mounts in a spare slot next to the card and connects to it by a cable. This is made by PNY, part number 900-50762-0000-000. In our experience, an FX 3800 and separate riser is a lot cheaper than a card with a built-in DIN connector. When you buy the 3D Vision glasses kit, check that it contains the mini-DIN to emitter cable. At one stage this was included in kits for the US market, but not in kits for Europe. This may have changed. We use the same monitor with an FX 3800 and 3D vision glasses kit on a couple of machines and are very impressed with the quality of the stereo. The glasses are a lot nicer than the old models, and it's nice being able to recharge them by USB rather than constantly swapping batteries because someone left the arms open and the glasses active overnight.
