Hi Claude (and others),

I guess you have an Stereo capable laptop (Geforce + 120hz Monitor)? At least the GeForce 460M is on the list for 3D-Vision.

However, as the GeForce graphics cards are not able to support quad-buffered OpenGL (vierfach gebufferte OpenGL-Anwendungen), I don't think they will ever work with Coot and the same might be true for PyMol (http://www.mail-archive.com/ccp4bb@jiscmail.ac.uk/msg11320.html) and other 3D crystallographic programs.

As far as I understand it's mostly, because the GeForce can only display 3D in fullscreen and not in single windows... (most likey due to driver restrictions).

So, AFIAK there is no mobile 3D-platform available for crystallographers.


Regards,
Jan

PS: If I'm wrong I would be happy to know!

There are a some models of laptop which contain a stereo-capable screen, but since the make & model of the laptop were not mentioned, it is not clear that Claude's equipment is on that list.

He also does not mention which OS he is running, which is the next question.

Dear Claude,

why do you expect stereo to work with a laptop? Usually it requires
special equipment, e.g. a shutter system or polarizing screen and
goggles, like the Zalman 3D monitors.

Maybe you want to let us know more about your setup.

Dear All,

I just bought a new laptop with the graphics card "NVIDIA GeForce GTX
460M" with 1.5GB memory.
Unfortunately the stereo does not work with Coot (Windows or Linux).

Can Anyone help me ?
Thanks in advance,
Claude.
