Hi Jérôme

Try to set the environment variable VMDPREFERSTEREO before starting VMD, ie:

setenv VMDPREFERSTEREO (using csh or tcsh), or
export VMDPREFERSTEREO (using bash)

Also, what kind of CrystalEyes are you using? Our sets are designed for use
with SGI equipment and requires +12V, whereas the VESA standard (used by the
Quadro cards) has +5V output. However, if this is the problem you should
still see a faint light in the stereo emitter LED.

Best regards

Esben

Subject: vmd-l: NVIDIA Quadro - CrystalEyes - Linux

Hi,

I am sure several of you have already had that problem or a similar one. But
I
didn't find the solution in the archives of this list nor anywhere else on
the Web.

I am setting up a graphical workstation with an NVIDIA Quadro 980 XGL board
under Linux. I am using nvidia's latest drivers and VMD works perfectly with

hardware acceleration and anti-aliasing.
When I try to use a CrystalEyes emitter for stereo glasses, it doesn't light

up when I start VMD, and then stereo doesn't work.

The XFree86 log says :
(**) NVIDIA(0): Option "Stereo" "3"
(**) NVIDIA(0): Onboard stereo requested (DIN connector)

Can someone help ?

Thanks
