Re: [ccp4bb] OT: Nvidia 3D vision 2 glasses with Ubuntu workstation

[adarsh kumar]

Hello everyone

Just wanted to update that PNY stereo connector worked. In summary, I have
the following items now:
OS: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
Graphics : Quadro P4000
Stereo connector: PNY (
http://accessories.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=bsd&cs=111&sku=A7035595
)
Monitor: Asus VG248QE

Used method detailed in the following link:
https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/1004126/general-discussion/nvidia-3d-stereo-under-linux-ubuntu-16/

Thank you for all your help.

Dear colleagues,

since approximately end of last year, there is indeed a 3D stereo 
problem under CentOS/Scientific Linux 7.6. 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.

Anyway, I wish the CCP4 community a Happy New Year!

Lieber Kay,

ich wünsche Dir ein Frohes und Gesundes Neues Jahr!

Ich staune auch, dass es anscheinend keine "3D-Ready"-Monitore mehr 
gibt! Wir haben einmal versuchsweise einen 144 Hz ASUS Monitor ohne 
"3D-Ready" gekauft - leider hat da die Synchronisation mit der 
Stereo-Brille nicht funktioniert ...


Mit unseren alten 3D-Ready-Monitoren haben wir unter Scientific Linux 
7.6 bisher keine 3D Stereo-Probleme beobachten können. Die 
Nvidia-Treiber kommen aus dem ELRepo-Repository. Habt Ihr die 
Stereo-Probleme noch?


Liebe Grüße,

Hi Wim

Thank you for sharing your experience. I have almost the same setup, except
for the stereo connector. i will place order for that today and will share
how things go from there.

Re: [ccp4bb] OT: Nvidia 3D vision 2 glasses with Ubuntu workstation

[Philippe BENAS]

Dear Fritz and others,

Would you know if stereo will also work with the latest LTS Kubuntu (18.04) and 
with an external stereo IR emitter ?
I had and still have workstations working fine under Kubuntu 16.04 LTS and 
built-in IR emitters but I have to install a station with an external USB IR 
emitter running Kubuntu 18.04.

Many thanks in advance,
Philippe

[ccp4bb] OT: Nvidia 3D vision 2 glasses with Ubuntu workstation - Fwd: 3D graphics under linux for coot, pymol and chimera

[Wim Burmeister]

  
  
Hello,
I re-post my contribution from 17 may 2017.
Software versions and hardware may be obsolete, but some of the
information may still help.
Best
Wim

  Hello,
   
  we just wanted to share our experience in
finding a configuration which allows to use 3D graphics
under linux using Nvidia GeForce 3D glasses.
   
  We had quite a hard time to find a
configurations which works correctly.
   
  We finally used Debian linux with a xfce
desktop. Other recent desktops use a tiling which is not
compatible with 3D graphics.
   
  The hardware consists of
  
  
a DELL Precision T5810 
desktop computer with an Nvidia Quadro M4000 (8 Gbyte
memory, 4 DP) graphics card
Nvidia
GeForce 3D Vision 2 (NVIDIA GEF 3D VISION 2 GLASSES KIT)
active stereo glasses
a stereo
connector PNY Quadro 4000 3D for the synchronization of
graphics card and glasses
an ASUS
24" LED 3D - VG248QE display
a
DisplayPort-DisplayPort cable
  
  
  The Nvidia linux drivers from version 367.57
can handle the current version of the Nvidia glasses.
   
  For an obscure reason a direct DP-DP connection
between graphics card and display is absolutely required in
order to obtain fully working stereo. If a DP-DVI dual link
adapter is used, the stereo does not work on the top and the
bottom part of the screen. This is true for a native DELL
active adaptor or generic models. The exact reason remains
unresolved, but the solution is to use a direct DP-DP
connection. This limits the available choice of displays
which require 120 Hz for 1080*1980 screen resolution and a
DP input. We have been choosing a “Nvidia 3D ready” model.
   
  There has been a considerate about of exchange
about this problem on
   
  https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/992892/linux/partially-working-stereoscopic-effect-with-3d-vision-under-debian-linux/
   
  The setup comes with a price tag of about 1600
€ free of taxes.
   
  coot, pymol and chimera work straight without
problems in hardware stereo mode. The experience is
absolutely great.

The newest version of KDE Neon works.  You just have to turn compositing

Hello everyone

We have just purchased a Dell workstation for crystallography data analysis. We

Re: [ccp4bb] OT: Nvidia 3D vision 2 glasses with Ubuntu workstation

[Christine Gee]

Hi Adarsh,

As others have commented, you need your IR emitter to be connected to the
P4000 graphics card through the 3 pin connector to get stereo with the
vision 2 glasses unless you have a screen with a built in emitter. We
recently set up a system using a Quadro P4000 and the additional 3 pin
connector (which we bought with the P4000).
If it helps, we also use the MATE instead of GNOME desktop. And in the
/etc/X11/xorg.conf file you will need to add set the stereo option to 10,
at least we did with our ASUS ROG PG278QR monitor and we also set composite
to disable. Please reach out if you would like any more information.
Regards
Christine

Re: [ccp4bb] OT: Nvidia 3D vision 2 glasses with Ubuntu workstation

[Kay Diederichs]

Unfortunately, monitors with built-in emitter are no longer being manufactured. 
The NVIDIA website has not been updated for years. So that path leads nowhere.

Stereo has worked well for us (for existing monitors with built-in emitter, and 
with Quadro cards /USB emitter) until and including CentOS 7.5. Recently, this 
stopped after updating to CentOS 7.6 - coot finds the stereo-capable hardware 
and reports the switch to stereo, but the monitor does not flip the pictures. 
We are investigating. We are using the Nvidia drivers through the EPEL 
repository.

best,

Kay

Re: [ccp4bb] OT: Nvidia 3D vision 2 glasses with Ubuntu workstation

[David Schuller]

I can see two possible paths here:

1) Make the card work with an emitter

or 2) Switch to a monitor with a built-in emitter

Datasheet on the graphics card:


"3D Stereo support with Stereo Connector1
...
1 VGA/DVI/HDMI/stereo support via adapter/connector/bracket"

The task then is to identify the correct bracket to work with this card, 
and find a source for purchase.

Something like this:

https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/652465-REG/PNY_Technologies_900_50762__000_Stereo_Bracket_for_Quadro.html
"PNY Technoligies Stereo Bracket for Quadro FX 3800"
> Is this part also compatible with the Quadro P4000? I do not know.

http://www8.hp.com/h20195/v2/GetPDF.aspx/c04658472.pdf
"NVidia 3D Stereo Bracket...

If you want to use it with linux, the 3-pin connector is required.  You can
buy a cable that plugs into an output on the video card and then provides
an "Nvidia 3D Stereo Bracket" 3-pin adapter to plug the little pyramid into.

Here is a link to Dell's site, but you can get it elsewhere as well:
http://accessories.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=fed&cs=16&sku=A7035595

I can vouch for the VG248QE monitors working with 3D Vision 2, I have 2 of
them.

Hello everyone

We have just purchased a Dell workstation for crystallography data analysis. We 
were trying to use Nvidia 3D vision 2 glasses with it, but failed to do so. 
Please help me out with this one. Some relevant information is as follows:
OS: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
Graphics : Quadro P4000 (unfortunately doesn't have a 3-pin DIN socket)
Monitor: Asus VG248QE

Thanks and regards
