Marc,

All I can say is that if QBS-in-a-window does work some machines, it is not presently a (hardware) vendor-supported solution. I am just as surprised as anyonee to read Dan's reports that it works for PyMOL..I have never myself seen QBS-in-a-window work on non-Quadro hardware (though I did just try MacPyMOLrc1 [renamed "StereoPyMOL" to force use of a QBS context] on an iMacG5 LCD and observed the expected flicker...hmm...looks promising!)

Dan,

What stereo-enabler gadget do you have exactly? Can you post a part number?

Cheers,
Warren
