Yes, it works with PyMOL and COOT using the 'quad buffered stereo' / 'hardware stereo' option, respectively.

Best wishes,

Hi Christoph,
Thanks so much for your information. This is very helpful for us.
One more question, will the *ASUS VG278H work with Pymol and coot?*

Thanks so much!

    We use the ASUS VG278 monitor with built-in IR emitter under
    linux.Stereo works perfectly without 3 pin connector.
    Monitor is connected via (dual-link) DVI cable (stereo option 10
    in xorg.conf). This should work with any Quadro card.

    The monitor is big and esp. bright in 3D due to it's NVIDIA 3D
    LightBoost technology (3D Vision 2). Much better for use of 3D in
    not so dark rooms.

        And that is because the emitter is powered by the screen and its
        presence is detected via the HDMI monitor cable (and the
        signal to the
        emitter is sent the same way). Use of these screens is via
        different
        driver option (stereo option of 12) and there is a more
        limited range
        available.

        I have no experience of running with this option, as being
        early(ish)
        adopters, we have a mix of Alienware OptX AW2310 and Samsung
        SyncMaster
        2233RZ screens. I would be interested in how stable the stereo
        is, when
        a low powered graphics card is under heavy load.

        Having a graphics card with more power is not a waste of money
        (the CUDA
        drivers used by the molecular simulation groups show what can
        be done).
        The extra cost is quite small compared to the costs of getting
        crystals
        in the first place!!

                    Why a quadro 4000? For coot, pymol, etc., a quadro

                    sufficient. Even the quadro 600 will do fine.
