Hi,
indeed, very difficult nowadays to get your hands on a monitor with
build-in IR-emitter in order to avoid needing to buy an expensive Nvidia
card with a 3-pin connector.
On the other hand, on EBAY many older Nvidia cards are being offered
that have a 3-pin connector and that are fast enough to run
crystallographic programs such as coot.
Look for the Nvidia FX3700 (very good card with 512 MB of DDR3 memory,
more than fast enough for Coot) or even an FX4800 (big card, make sure
it fits into the housing), plenty of interesting offers for little
money. With these older cards you can drive any modern 120-144 Hz
Monitor (but obviously need the 3-pin emitter equipment to drive the
glasses).
Good luck,
Jeroen

Hi Jun,
on CentOS 7 it works as described at
http://strucbio.biologie.uni-konstanz.de/ccp4wiki/index.php/Stereo#Nvidia_3D_Vision_2
, with a Quadro K620 and BenQ XL2420TX . Unfortunately this monitor type seems
difficult to find nowadays.
best,
Kay

I have made coot and pymol 3D work with NVIDIA Quadro K5200 under Windows 7 but
I could not make it work under Centos 7. WinCoot was not able to load big virus
maps, it crashed all the time. I really want to make coot 3D work under Centos
7. Has anybody succeeded at running coot 3D in Centos 7?
