[Chimera-users] Problem with Nvidia Quadro FX 880M and Stereocopic view

[Sabuj Pattanayek]

IIRC there's an option in the windows nvidia configuration utility
that enables and disables nvidia 3d vision. I assume that's the setup
you're trying to use, so check that to see if it's enabled or
disabled.
