That is completely normal - QUAD_BUFFER works and is supported only on
certain (not all!)  cards from the Quadro line, not on any GeForces.

This thing with the Nvidia 3D glasses is the same hack as what they were
doing before with the "consumer stereo" driver which was creating the
stereo image automatically in the driver and drove the glasses using the
 DCC pin of the VGA connector. However, right now there is no OpenGL
support for this new version of the driver, only DirectX as it is
marketed towards games, so it will not work with OSG at all.

I guess they are trying to prevent cannibalization of the sales of their
overpriced Quadros by cheaper GeForces :(

Regards,

Jan
