NVidia 3D Vision


Specs:

Dell XPS 17 w/ nVidia 3D Vision Pro (nifty black shades, not the red/blue)
nVidia GeForce GT 555M
nVidia Driver Version 280.13 (also tried 275.21)
Slackware64 13.37 custom built kernel
KDE 4.5.5

Has anyone been able to get the 3D Vision Pro to work? I read that it's suppose to be supported in Linux(http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?pag...item&px=OTE5Mg), but I haven't been able to get it to work. The glasses recognize the emitter, and they are charged. I tried viewing the YouTube samples in different formats and didn't see anything pop out.

nvidia-settings doesn't show anything about the 3D Vision either.

Ideas, links, "it ain't gonna work"...?

Thanks!
