I am trying to get 3D stereo (stereoscopic vision) to work on our xubuntu machine using an NVIDIA geforce graphics card, and NVIDIA 3D vision glasses. I have (tried) to follow the many suggestions but cannot get 3D stereo to work on our xubuntu machine. I read that it should work with the NVIDIA GEFORCE graphics cards above the 400 series, so we thought we would try.



Here is the output of glxgears:
603 frames in 5.0 seconds = 120.411 FPS
600 frames in 5.0 seconds = 119.988 FPS




glxgears -stereo
Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered, Stereo visual




Our set up is as follows:
Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS
Codename: xenial
Xubuntu with XFCE desktop environment.



Acer monitor that is “Nvidia 3D vision ready”.

Nvidia GeForce GT 710 graphics card.

Nvidia 3D vision emitter and glasses.



If I issue the command inxi, it shows our computer setup:

CPU~Quad core Intel Core i7-4790 (-HT-MCP-) speed/max~3803/4000 MHz Kernel~4.4.0-119-generic x86_64 Up~1 day Mem~1363.1/3886.2MB HDD~1000.2GB(36.3% used) Procs~263 Client~Shell inxi~2.2.35



The monitor and emitter work on a Windows 7 machine no problem (the emitter shows a green light). On the xubunt machine, the emitter shows a red flashing light.



I installed the NVIDIA X-server settings GUI. 
I installed the latest NVIDIA driver from the NVIDIA website.
If I look at Software &Updates>Additional Drivers I see that


“Using NVIDIA binary driver-version 390.48 from nvidia-390” is selected.



lspci | egrep '3D|VGA'
04:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation Device 128b (rev a1)



I edited the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file to include



Option "Stereo" "10"
Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "Disable"
EndSection



I have also tried the "nouveau" driver, but no 3D stereo.



Is there another place that needs editing?? Am i using the xorg.conf file? Any suggestions?The programs we wish to use are PyMOL and COOT.



Thanks in advance!
