Hi Dear Pymol-users,

Sorry about this long message. I am struggling to configure X Windwo to
enable stereo.

Two monitors are connected with the NVIDIA GPU Quadro FX 3400 card. One
monitor is ViewSonic VP2030b LCD, another is ViewSonic G225fb CRT. Try to
configure X widnow to enable stereo with Xinerama on so that application
can cross the screen boundaries. There is no any error or warning message
in Xorg.0.log (xorg.conf is below). However, when tried to run stereo
application, such as PyMol or Coot, it doesn't work. It came out with
different error messages.

In PyMol, error is following:
X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of range for
operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  78 (X_CreateColormap)
  Value in failed request:  0x0
  Serial number of failed request:  14
  Current serial number in output stream:  16
 PyMOL: abrupt program termination.

In Coot, the error is
Gdk-ERROR **: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
  serial 390 error_code 2 request_code 78 minor_code 0

Googling doesn't get much useful information.

I also tried to use Twinview. The stereo works well. However, the
application interface cannot move cross the screen boundaries.

The Xinerama enabled setting works perfect with systems connected with a
CRT and a LCD monitors
(2.4.20-6smp #1 SMP Thu Feb 27 09:36:38 EST 2003 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux)
(NVIDIA Quadro4 750 XGL).

The system with stereo problem is
2.6.9-34.0.1.ELlargesmp #1 SMP Wed May 17 17:19:07 EDT 2006 x86_64 x86_64
x86_64 GNU/Linux

xorg.conf and partial of Xorg.0.log files is below.

Any help or suggestion is appreciated.
Best,
