Hi Dirk, Thanks a lot for your post. It will be indeed really helpful in our lab. Best regards,Philippe Philippe BENAS, Ph.D.

I found the odd reason for this by a small warning message in the Xorg-log file and some trial-and-error and just want to share this with you, in case, you come across the same problem: My xorg.conf contains the usual switch-off of the composite extension, since this is incompatible with 3D stereo: Section "Extensions" Option "Composite" "Disable" EndSection However, in recent Xorg-log files, there is a warning that the extension "Composite" is not recognized, but the extension "COMPOSITE" is loaded. This doesn't lead to 3D stereo problems on the KDE desktop, but disables 3D stereo on the MATE and probably the XFCE desktop. The solution is both odd and easy - you have to modify the composite option in your xorg.conf as follows: Section "Extensions" Option "COMPOSITE" "Disable" EndSection I have no idea, since when Xorg is case-sensitive, or whether this has anything to do with the Nvidia driver (I use the one from ELRepo). Anyway, this solution appears to work. Best wishes, Dirk. On 20.12.18 22:28, Kay Diederichs wrote: > Unfortunately, monitors with built-in emitter are no longer being > manufactured.
