Hello,
Is anyone using nvidia quadro 4000 graphics card for linux environment
to see stereo in pymol, coot, O or similar programs? If yes, I like to
buy that.
Thanks...

Yes, we have a Quadro 4000. It seems to work on both Fedora 15 and
Scientific Linux 6.1.
I do recall a bit of grief in that the default nouveau driver did not
properly recognize the Q4000, possibly because it is a new model; so you
will have to know what to do in text console mode to get the proprietary
driver working.
This should do it for SL6.1:
# first, enable the elrepo repository:
rpm --import http://elrepo.org/RPM-GPG-KEY-elrepo.org
rpm -Uvh http://elrepo.org/elrepo-release-6-4.el6.elrepo.noarch.rpm
# then you can install the driver. This automatically takes care of
blacklisting the nouveau driver.
yum -y --enablerepo=elrepo install kmod-nvidia
You will need to tweak the xorg.conf file to add the stereo line and
disable composite.
A /etc/X11/xorg.conf file for SL6.1 attached.
Detailed instructions will vary with your Linux distribution, of course.
Cheers,
