Thank you for the correction.

Am I correct to assume that this driver -- presumably derived from the 
proprietary Nvidia driver that must be uninstalled per the documentation 
in the URL that you provided -- has fully stereoscopic 3D support, 
including whatever openGL modifications are required, as does the Nvidia 
"factory" package?

If so, and thus stereoscopic 3D activation in the xorg.conf file is 
required, does this ELrepo package provide the necessary xorg.conf file? 
  If not, and if the ELrepo derivative requires the same syntax in the 
same xorg.conf stanzas as the Nvidia "factory" driver, could you kindly 
transmit my xorg.conf file fix to the Elrepo group, or provide me with 
the correct contact information?
