RE: [PyMOL] Stereographics CrystalEyes problem
Yep, we ran into the same problem with our ESGI emitters and FireGL2 cards -- we ended up having to buy new StereoGraphics (E-2) emitters for the Linux machines (~$200). http://www.qualixdirect.com/ part # SV-008-A-PC-E2 Cheers, Warren > -Original Message- > From: Viktor Hornak [mailto:hor...@csb.sunysb.edu] > Sent: Tuesday, October 08, 2002 2:19 PM > To: Schubert, Carsten > Cc: pymol-users > Subject: Re: [PyMOL] Stereographics CrystalEyes problem > > > Carsten, > > your guess sounds very likely to me.

Re: [PyMOL] Stereographics CrystalEyes problem
Carsten, your guess sounds very likely to me. Unfortunately, we only have "ESGI" emitters so I cannot confirm it for sure (but I bet you're right). Thanks a lot for the tip. Cheers, -Viktor Schubert, Carsten wrote: just a wild guess, but in order to get stereo to work on my PC (under W2K) with a Oxygen GVX card I had to use a "ENT" emitter from Stereographics. As far as I recall the regular emitters used on the SGI's, type "ESGI", did not work. Hope it helps.

RE: [PyMOL] Stereographics CrystalEyes problem
Hi Viktor, just a wild guess, but in order to get stereo to work on my PC (under W2K) with a Oxygen GVX card I had to use a "ENT" emitter from Stereographics. As far as I recall the regular emitters used on the SGI's, type "ESGI", did not work. Hope it helps.

[PyMOL] Stereographics CrystalEyes problem
Hello, I followed the discussion on 3D stereo support in PyMOL and saw that many people were able to get PyMOL in stereo with FireGL or Nvidia cards. Finally I got the chance to try it out myself with a new NVIDIA Quadro4 XGL 900. I am running PyMOL on RedHat 7.3 wiht the latest nvidia drivers (1.0-3123). There were no problems to get accelerated X up with blazingly fast PyMOL rendering. So next, I tried to get stereo working. I am using Stereographics emitter and CrystalEyes which I've been using with our SGIs (so that I know they are functional; in fact PyMOL works in stereo on our SGIs without a problem). I plugged the emmiter into the DIN on my Quadro4 card, put Option "Stereo" "3" into my XF86Config-4, restarted X and hoped that things will just work. According to XFree log file, X was really initiated in stereo mode. The emmiter light turned on when I started PyMOL. I switched to 'quad buffered stereo' and the molecule getss rendered in stereo but when I look at it with CrystalEyes glasses nothing changes. I still see double rendered image on the screen, which means that the emmiter does not synchronize glasses correctly (or at all). I tried to change some options in XF86Config-4 but nothing helped, so I was wondering if someone experienced the same problem.
