Hi Emmanuel
Here we have tried the nvidia Quadro 2000 with two different monitors
(both with the built-in IR emitter, thus with synching through DVI):
ASUS VG278HR and BenQ XL2420TX. The setup works perfectly well in Linux,
both pymol and coot work without issues. Unfortunately we have no
experience with other nvidia cards, so can't comment on that.
Hope it helps
Jose

Dear BB,
We are still a bit confused about compatibility of graphics cards with
3D Coot/PyMol in Linux:
(a) In previous CCP4bb discussions, it was stated that only Quadro
cards are compatible with Linux setups. But could someone tell me what
the minimum standard really is: is it Quadro FX380, 2000, 3800 or
something else ? The nVidia site lists Quadro 3700 and 3800 as the two
lowest (cheapest) options compatible with Linux 3D. However, different
CCP4ers have in the past mentioned the other two options as working
"perfectly" or "with little trouble".
(b) If a monitor such as the ASUS VG278H
<http://www.asus.com/Monitors_Projectors/VG278H/#overview> , which has
an in-built nVidia 3D vision emitter which takes its stereo synch from
a DVI cable is used, can we even use the simpler GeForce GTX670 or 680 ?
As you might imagine, we are on a rather tight budget. Any info would
be greatly appreciated!
