Dear all,
I'm trying to get COOT to work on a Mac G5 with NVIDIA Quadro FX 4500 graphics card.  Quad buffered stereo works fine with Pymol.  I have installed X11, X11 SDK, Fink, CCP4, Coot etc (many thanks to Bill Scott's excellent web pages).  However, when I try to run COOT in stereo, I get the message that "This computer appears not to be able to do hardware stereo".  I have similar error message with other X11-based graphics programs (ie, moloc).  I think I need to add the line ' Option "Stereo" "3" ' to the XF86config file in /etc/X11-- one problem-- this file doesn't exist and when I create it, my problem doesn't go away.  Does anyone know how to tell the Mac OS X version of X11 (and COOT) that hardware stereo is available?  

many thanks,
Sarah
