Re: [ccp4bb] [SUSPECTED SPAM] Re: [ccp4bb] nVidia quadro Update for Linux

[Dirk Kostrewa]

Dear Jeroen,

yes, 3D stereo under a RHEL 7 clone is working more or less 
out-of-the-box here, using a workstation with a Quadro card with 3-pin 
mini-DIN socket, a current ASUS stereo monitor without built-in emitter, 
connected via a dual-link DVI-D cable, and the Nvidia 3D Vision 2 
glasses with its USB-emitter and  provided cables.


We run it here without problems on some 15 systems, or so.

As usual, in the xorg.conf file you have to enable this type of stereo 
with 'Option "Stereo" "10"' and disable composite with 'Option 
"Composite" "Disable"'.


However, disabling composite is incompatible with gnome 3! So to get 3D 
stereo working, I completely removed gnome 3 and switched to KDE 4. If 
you don't like KDE, I got 3D stereo also working with the MATE desktop 
on one trial system.


Best regards,

Dirk.

Linux as well. Nobody could confirm it worked back then so I did not 
go for that option and bought an ASUS VG278HR. But because monitors 
with build-in emitters are becoming extinct, we/I need the alternative 
employing the Nvidia 3D Vision 2 glasses under Linux I guess.


Apparently this option is working, see

So, I ask the question again, can somebody confirm the Nvidia 3D

withdraw my previous email.

For linux boxes and Nvidia 3D Vision 2 glasses:
You have to buy an 120Hz ASUS VG287HR (there is no other useful 
option in my opinion at the moment) and whatever quadro card you buy, 
make sure the card posesses a "DVI-I Dual-Link Connector" (also 
termed DVI-D / DVI-I DL instead of a simple DVI) because the ASUS 
VG287HR comes with a DVI-D port (no displayport 1.2 and VGA is not 
usefull if you are going for 1920x1080@120hz). If the quadro card has 
display ports 1.2 only, you will need a Club-3D CAC-1051 active 
DisplayPort/Dual-Link DVI Adapter 330MHz for about 110 € (do not buy 
the 270 mhz model, it will not work as the bandwidth is too low for 
1920x1080@120hz) or for miniDisplay port cards, the Club-3D CAC-1151 
active miniDisplayPort/Dual-Link DVI Adapter 330MHz.


It is better anyway to operate the glasses via the emitter of the 
VG287HR monitor (no lagging behind at all) and you can forget about 
getting a card with a 3-pin connector. The new entry k420 (192 cuda 
cores for ± 120 €, similar to older quadro 2000) or k620 will do just 
more than fine (386 cuda cores for ± 200 € is more than fast enough, 
similar to oder quadro 4000).


For windows and Nvidia 3D Vision 2 glasses:
You can buy a 144Hz monitor such as the ASUS VG278HE WITHOUT build-in 
emitter, but you will need to spend considerably more money for a new 
card with 3-pin stereo (or buy an old model such as fx3800) to 
operate the glasses by emitter in conjunction with the USB port. This 
is a windows only option.

usbfs was removed from linux starting with kernel version 3.5 (July 2012).
  
Some linux distros with "extended life" support for old kernels 
may still allow you to enable usbfs, but it's not a tenable requirement
going forward.  Whatever script or component was using this should
be updated to query /sys/kernel/debug/usb/...  instead.

nope... I'm just using stock Centos 6.6 (installed, quite a while ago,
as version 6.3 and occasionally updated) and a relatively recent driver
from nVidia.


I see you did not implement the following, Option "3DVisionUSBPath"

I didn't have to do anything special about USB. no extra packages to

I asked the company who runs the price info site to check their assignments, and they 
fixed the categories: http://geizhals.eu/?cat=monlcd19wide now has a "inkl. 
3D-emitter" attribute. This currently only returns the Asus 278HR which can only be 
bought in Poland, or through EBay.

The cheapest current Nvidia Quadro with (optional?) 3-pin DIN Stereo connector 
(needed for Linux) is the K4200 
(http://www.nvidia.de/object/quadro-desktop-gpu-specs-de.html) which starts at 
~ €700.

I asked the company who runs the price info site to check their assignments, 
and they fixed the categories: http://geizhals.eu/?cat=monlcd19wide now has a 
"inkl. 3D-emitter" attribute. This currently only returns the Asus 278HR which 
can only be bought in Poland, or through EBay.

The cheapest current Nvidia Quadro with (optional?) 3-pin DIN Stereo connector 
(needed for Linux) is the K4200 
(http://www.nvidia.de/object/quadro-desktop-gpu-specs-de.html) which starts at 
~ €700.

Interestingly, we have both systems working in our lab. Our old station is 7 
years old with FX3700, view sonic monitor and 3-pin stereo emitter. My new one 
has K5000 and VG278HR, which just requires a pair of nVidia shatter glasses.  
Hope this helps.  Aidong

 I went through the specs for the monitors on the Heise list, and none of
 them seems to have a built in emitter compatible with Nvidia 3D Vision
 2. It looks like it is a bad time to buy a 3D monitor. At this point it
 might be easier to just go for a Quadro with 3-pin connector.

FX3700 is the oldest Quadro model with 3-pin DIN Stereo connector that is

Quadro 5000 (150 watt, single 6-pin) at half the price and that will do 
just more than fine.


Anyway, the 6000 will work under Linux all right (just make really sure 
to download and install the drivers directly from Nvidia as they are not 
part of standard linux distributions). But, the card is really very big 
( 4.376” H x 9.75” L / Dual Slot) and consummes 205 watts (via single 
8-pin or dual 6-pin) and produces a lot (!) of heat. So you do need a 
big enough power supply (> 550 watt) and a large case with 1-2 
additional cooling fans to keep the "monster" under control.

Would this card work for quad buffered stereo on Linux
workstation? It does have 3-pin mini Din.

I do not have a 4000 to verify, but it seems like a decent bet that the

Also, it took forever to find out how to get it to work with NVIDIA 3D vision.  
As it turns out, you have to set stereo mode to 10 in the config file.  I know 
it doesn't say that anywhere; they always say to set to 3 for hardware stereo.  
This will not work if you buy the 3 pin DIN and plug it into the board yourself.

This is covered in the README file for the Linux Quadro FX driver:

Appendix B. X Config Options:
http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/270.41.19/README/xconfigoptions.html

Includes descriptions of the 11 different stereo options, along with a 
description of which graphics cards are required for compatibility.


"10) NVIDIA 3D Vision mode for use with NVIDIA 3D Vision glasses. The 
NVIDIA 3D Vision infrared emitter must be connected to a USB port of 
your computer, and to the 3-pin DIN connector of a Quadro graphics board 
(based on G8xGL or higher GPU) before starting the X server. 
Hot-plugging the USB infrared stereo emitter is not yet supported. Also, 
3D Vision Stereo Linux support requires a Linux kernel built with USB 
device filesystem (usbfs) and USB 2.0 support. Not presently supported 
on FreeBSD or Solaris."


 (For stereo mode 10, Quadro graphics cards with G8xGL or higher GPUs)

[ccp4bb] nVidia Quadro 4000 and the stereo bracket

[Brick, Peter]

In the UK Dell is now selling computers fitted with an nVidia Quadro 4000 
rather than a FX3800.

For stereo glasses it would appear that the new card also uses an optional 3 
pin mini-DIN connection - but I can find no mention of a part number on either 
the nVidia or the PNY websites. Has anyone more information?

It seems quite possible that the stereo bracket sold for the FX3800 would also 
be suitable - can anyone confirm this?

Many thanks

Peter

Re: [ccp4bb] nVidia Quadro FX3000 on Ubuntu 8.10

[Mark Brooks]

Hi,

In Ubuntu the use of Nvidia drivers is very slick, or should be.
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia

Go to the System menu, then:
System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers

A window opens up which then searches for proprietary drivers, and propose
that you use "Nvidia accelerated driver 173", or some such version. Click
the activate button, and restart X.

Behind the scenes, this installs the "linux-restricted-modules" package,
which will update your Nvidia module every time you upgrade your linux
kernel, which is tiresome otherwise.

There is no need for this "Envy" thing in Ubuntu.

For stereo, you will need lines in /etc/X11/xorg.conf like:

Section "Device"
Identifier  "Configured Video Device"
Option  "AllowDFPStereo" "on"
Option  "Stereo""3"
Driver  "nvidia"
Screen 0
EndSection

Section "Extensions"
Option  "Composite" "off"
EndSection

Good luck,

Mark

Thanks envyng did the trick, but the emitter doesn't light up when I  
run pymol or coot. There's also no stereo sync on the screen.


I've installed driver version 173.14.12

Thanks.

Re: [ccp4bb] nVidia Quadro FX3000 on Ubuntu 8.10

[Tim Gruene]

This usually means that you have to install the header files for your 
kernel. They come in a separate package, but I don't know its name for 
Ubuntu. The Debian package is called linux-headers-$(uname -r) (where 
'uname -r' issued at the command line returns the version of the current 
kernel), maybe it's the same with Ubuntu.
