In addition to using STEREO mode "10", try adding this section to xorg.conf:
Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "Disable"
EndSection
Full xorg.conf file included at the bottom of this post.

Dear Coot and Pymol users,
I have the same problem with both softwares so I thought I would send
a joined message.
We recently acquired a quadro 4000 with a 3-pin connector and the
NVIDIA 3D Vision 2 kit (suppose to be supported by NVIDIA on linux for
openGL applications
http://www.nvidia.com/object/quadro_pro_graphics_boards_linux.html)
I have inserted /etc/X11/xorg.conf in device section the following:
option "stereo" "3" following instructions here
(http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/310.40/README/xconfigoptions.html)
I am using Mint 13 (based on ubuntu) and the NVIDIA drivers are 319.32.
When stating pymol using the following: pymol -S -t 1, I get the
following error message: "Error: The requested stereo 3D visualization
mode is not available."
Coot give me the following error when switching to hardware stereo:
"WARNING:: Can't enable stereo visual - falling back"
so I guess I did not installed properly my drivers but I am stuck in
what to try next. Any help from those of you who managed to get
hardware stereo to work would be greatly appreciated (I am even
willing to try a different linux flavour if need be).
I would like to add that the hardware works fine (at least the NVIDIA
demo stuff) on windows 7 but even under windows i could not get
pymol/coot to work. Both switch to stereo hardware and the display get
blurry but the shutter glasses do not work...
Cheers,
Arnaud
