Hi Peter =20

I'm very happy with the cheap "gamers glasses". They are light, much =
lighter than the old CrystalEyes we have for our SGI-systems, and also =
more reliable (ie. when they dont work, they just need new batteries :-) =
The batteries (CR2016) have less capacity than the ones in CrystalEyes =
(CR2032) but thats a minor issue. Note that these glasses only work with =
Linux if the graphics card has a VESA stereo connector (like the Quadro =
cards).

I also tried some wired glasses (Eye3D 4in1), which were also good, but =
they needed a VGA passthrough cable, which disturbs the signal a bit, =
resulting in a slightly blur image on the screen. The advantages are no =
batteries, and they don't need a VESA stereo connector on the graphics =
board. We have succesfully run stereo under Linux with Xig X-server and =
a ATI 9000pro card - and XF86/Nvidia driver/Nvidia GeForce4 card. =
However, I'm not sure these glasses are available anymore.=20

Best regards

Esben
