[Chimera-users] Chimera 1.5.3, nvidia quadro 4000 and stereo

[Veli-Pekka Kestilä]

Thanks for the reply. I finally got it working. Seems that the problem 
was in monitor settings. Only thing not working is Chimera 1.5.3 (32bit 
and 64bit) when I start it normally. 2011-07-23 alpha works without 
problem. And also the current version works when started in OpenGL Debug 
mode.

For posterity the thing which was configured wrong was in Nvidia Control 
Panel -> Display -> Change Resolution

Here in resolution field were "HD, SD" and "PC" selection. When I 
changed to PC selection things started to work. (The previous set the 
refresh rate wrong)

Greetings,
Veli-Pekka
