To my knowledge, Macs do not currently support stereo graphics, which is 
too bad...

Depending on the revision of your existing crystal eyes emitters, they
might work fine with a Linux box.  I have an older crystal eyes emitter
hooked to the Quadro 750 board in my Linux box and use the nuvision
glasses that Sabuj referred to with it.  It works fine.  I'll repeat what
Sabuj said: you cannot use crystal eyes glasses with the nuvision emitter.  
But the other direction works fine.

We have other crystal eyes emitters which do not work with the nVidia 
graphics boards we have here.  I am not sure why but that has been my 
observation.
