Could you ask him a few questions regarding this?

1. Is this really a Geforce2 or a Quadro 2??

nVidia claims that Quadro is stereo-enabled, not Geforce (according to 
their relase notes in the latest driver (v.1.0-3123)).

2. Is there some patch neccessary to fool the driver (like the 
Windows-version)?

3. How does the emitter works (something like the beamsplitter available 
from NuVision)??

4. Does this emitter allow for stereo in a window (instead of 
fullscreen-stereo)?
