Alexander, What graphics card were you using in the demo system? From my experience, it seems only the high end card (FX3700 and up) can do this (having the 3-pin stereo connector). This is different from the situation for Windows where a low end card like FX380 works fine. The 3-pin stereo cable is part of the 3D Vision kit in our purchase.

VX2265wm and Nvidia 3D Vision system yesterday. The stereo quality is equivalent/superior to our Stereographics/CRT setup. We have tested coot and pymol in the normal hardware stereo mode. There are several advantages besides space requirements and availability: integrated recharchable battery and you can work with a second non stereo TFT to expand the desktop as the glasses do not influence other TFTs (unlike Stereographics). On the ViewSonic TFT has a good image quality, however when looking at a plain coloured background a fine grid is visible. In my opinion it does not affect the normal crystallographic work and depending on you background settings you might not even notice it. As far as I understood the key requirements for linux are a quadro graphics card with 3-pin stereo connector and the VESA 3-pin stereo cable that is described in the manual from the Nvidia website but not included in the package in all countries.
