[Chimera-users] Chimera and Nvidia 3D vision

[Greg Couch]

We have some stereo notes hidden with the installation instructions that 
need to be more prominent -- see 
<http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/1.4.1/stereo.html>.  But to summarize, 
you'll need a NVidia Quadro card.   See the "NVIDIA 3D Vision for 
Quadro" information at 
<http://www.nvidia.com/object/quadro_pro_graphics_boards.html>.
