[chimerax-users] Getting stereo to work

[Greg Couch]

You don't say if you are on Windows or Linux nor if you are using 
NVidia's 3D vision glasses or some other solution.  Mac stereo stopped 
working in Mac OS X 10.11.  All of those details matter.


For Windows, you to need to enable 3D stereo in the Manage 3D settings 
panel of the NVIDIA control panel, not the Stereoscopic 3D settings.  
Specifically, "Stereo - Enable" should be on and "Stereo - Display mode" 
should be set correctly for your hardware setup, e.g., "On-board DIN 
connector (with NIVDIA 3D Vision)".


On Linux, it is more complicated.  Read the NVIDIA driver release notes 
in /usr/share/doc/nvidia*/html/index.html and edit your X11 server 
configuration file, /etc/Xorg.conf, appropriately.


     HTH,
