Paul: We are running Coot under Centos with Nvidia video cards, emitters and glasses. Although our system is relatively new and therefore has not been used as extensively as I would like to see, we have never encountered your problem and hopefully will not. There are programs (VMD) in which you can deliberately change the eyes in stereo and out of curiosity I have done this and it consistently worked well even if I cannot really think of why you would want to have your eyes 'the wrong way around'. In short no instability. We are using Quadro FX3450 cards with the most recent drivers supplied by Nvidia. Note that they regularly (weekly?) issue upgraded drivers. To follow up on Carsten's observation, perhaps a driver upgrade will help? The only thing that I have noticed as 'abnormal' is that coot sometimes freezes when you have another window in front of the coot window and after minimizing this front window, you cannot make the coot window work unless you either minimize coot and open it up again or alternatively you move the window around on your desktop - simply clicking on it does not help. But no stereo problems.

The setup seems to work fine most of the time, but the stereo will invert every now and then (the right eye is shown the left image and vice versa). This seems to happen especially after a computation such as realspace refine is performed. The stereo will usually spontaneously correct itself, but sometimes I have to minimize the window and restore it. This is occuring on three machines with the above configuration. Swapping emitters and glasses seems to do nothing. Has anyone had such a problem? Thanks, Paul D.
