Thank you for the URLs above. I actually had read the one for the
current ELrepo driver, but it was not clear from the information at the
URL if there was full 3D stereoscopic support as with the proprietary
Nvidia (".run") installer. Undoubtedly, I must have misread or simply
missed this detail. As I have noted, the xorg.conf file created by the
Nvidia installer does not activate the 3D stereoscopic functions (e.g.,
the emitter does not "go green" with a proper 3D application, such as
UCSF Chimera configured to provide Nvidia-style switched stereoscopic
3D), and I had to hand modify the xorg.conf file. The documentation
provided by Nvidia is less than completely transparent which is why I
posted a working 3D stereoscopic xorg.conf file to this list (it being
relatively short). Does the ELrepo variant automatically construct the
correct 3D stereoscopic xorg.conf file and include the Nvidia modified
OpenGL, etc., files to support Nvidia switching stereoscopic 3D for 64
bit SL 6x?

Yasha
