[PyMOL] Re: ATI radeon 8500 and Linux quad buffered stereo

[Dr. D. J. W. P. <da...@ch...>]

Hi,

Indeed you should just need the enabler cable from stereographics.
This is compatible with emitter box E-2, and not other emitters I=20
think....?

with the hardware browser in gnome menu - system tools
my card is listed as
Radeon R200 QL (Radeon 8500 LE)

and in the Xig.com Xserver  Xsetup program as
ATI RADEON 8500, 64MB

The enabler cable fits into the normal (not digital / flat panel...?)=20
monitor socket in the back of the card
inbetween the monitor cable and the card. Also the emitter box is=20
powered from the keyboard port.....weird, but seems to work.
The enabler cable acts as kind of a splitter for the keyboard port, so=20=

you can plug in the keyboard and the emitter box.

I have a second CRT monitor running out of the digital/flat panel port=20=

of the card, using the converter that came with the card.
In Xsetup I have enabled dual view in horizontal mode... and it works.=20=

I think the stereo display is a little slower of course since the card=20=

is doing more work,
but I can have a 3D window covering all my big monitor, and control=20
windows on the other smaller monitor, making up I large rectangular=20
"screen".
both monitors are running at 1280x1024. millions of colours.

good luck!

Dan
