Question about OpenGL stereo with nvidia quadro display card

  • Follow


Hi, everyone.
Now i'm testing a opengl stereo testing program(OGLPlane.exe) on my
computer, my display card is Nvidia quadro FX 3450/4000 SDI,  the
version of the dirver is   forceware 91.47 + 3dstereo 91.47. now i
meet a problem, when i run OGLPlane.exe, it always show a warning,
"the current display configuration does not support opengl stereo".
But i'm sure i have enabled the stereo mode in the display
configuration and the stereo testing program of nvidia is running
fine.
can someone help,  Thxs!

Do you have a stereo-capable display running at 120 hz or better?

thanks for your reply, but i don't think that display you mentioned is
essential, for that the testing program of nvidia works well, i can
see overlapped images, that program is based on D3D(i believe).
i use another program (morph.exe) to test the card, there is some
code:
glGetBooleanv(GL_STEREO, &bStereo); // query stereo support!
              if (!bStereo)
              {
                strcat(szMessage, "\nGL_STEREO =3D=3D GL_FALSE\n");
              }
and the result is "GL_STEREO =3D=3D GALSE".
So i think the key is how can i config my display card to support
opengl stereo, but there is no OpenGL setting tab in quadro card's
Stereo Properties tabs.

=================================

You need to set up a request for a pixel format that includes stereo.
Quadro's definitly do do stereo. They *may* not enable it unless your 
monitor is set up corectly. See caveats about unified buffer and overlays 
and stereo: http://www.schneider-digital.de/download/pny/q4xgl_cntrlpnl.pdf

Don't use the Customer 3D Stereo drivers with stereo-capable Quadro cards,
it's designed for the GeForce series.  After removing the 3dstereo driver
(which means that you're on Microsoft Windows), navigate to the "Performance
and Quality Setting panel, (Display Properties dialog, Settings tab,
Advanced button, Quadro FX tab, Performance & Quality Settings menu), and
change the View from Basic Settings to Advanced Settings.  Then in the
Settings scroll box, scroll down to stereo settings and set them
appropriately (e.g., Enable stereo: On, Stereo dislpay mode: Use on-board
DIN connector), log out and back in, and finally stereo should work.

Why NVidia makes stereo such a pain to setup with the Quadro drivers, I
have no idea, especially since it is one of the major selling points of
the cards.

	Good luck,

Piece of cake in Linux, including passive mode stereo.  High-end stereo 
(non-game) on Windows strikes me as a poor idea. Not my 1st -- or even 
2nd -- choice of OS's. Darn rare, and, hence, buried deep in a sub-menu. 
Ditto for overlays ("what are those for?").
