Thanks a tonne Marc .
Turning OFF "Force Full GPU scaling" in the DFP-0 and DFP-1 settings of the
n-vidia-settings panel made all the difference.
Once I unchecked that box it made the stereo stop flickering and switching
from coming at you to going away from you ( i.e flipping).
Stereo with the nvidia 3dvision and the planar SA2311 is now almost as good
as a CRT.
Thanks Rafael, Malcom Davis, Jason Vertrees and Marc Piuzzi for your help.
