Hello, I re-post my contribution from 17 may 2017. Software versions and hardware may be obsolete, but some of the information may still help. Best Wim -------- Forwarded Message --------
Hello, we just wanted to share our experience in
finding a configuration which allows to use 3D graphics
under linux using Nvidia GeForce 3D glasses. We had quite a hard time to find a
configurations which works correctly. We finally used Debian linux with a xfce
desktop. Other recent desktops use a tiling which is not
compatible with 3D graphics. The hardware consists of
The Nvidia linux drivers from version 367.57
can handle the current version of the Nvidia glasses. For an obscure reason a direct DP-DP connection
between graphics card and display is absolutely required in
order to obtain fully working stereo. If a DP-DVI dual link
adapter is used, the stereo does not work on the top and the
bottom part of the screen. This is true for a native DELL
active adaptor or generic models. The exact reason remains
unresolved, but the solution is to use a direct DP-DP
connection. This limits the available choice of displays
which require 120 Hz for 1080*1980 screen resolution and a
DP input. We have been choosing a “Nvidia 3D ready” model. There has been a considerate about of exchange
about this problem on The setup comes with a price tag of about 1600
€ free of taxes. coot, pymol and chimera work straight without
problems in hardware stereo mode. The experience is
absolutely great. Best Wim --
