3D monitor not working with Fedora 14
 
I tried connecting a 3D monitor with my Fedora 14 (64-bit) OS. On changing to 3D mode, the screen does change (3D SRS & T/B modes). But on wearing the 3D glasses, the images appear the same as those on the screen. I am using a NVidia G210 card and AOC e2352 3D monitor. If anybody has any idea on the same, your help would be appreciated.

I am not sure how well 3D is supported in Linux and what it would be used for in a post compiz world, but first, Fedora 14 is getting old. Fedora 18 should be out soon. So before investing too much time trying to fix your issue. It would be a good idea to upgrade to a newer version. You can do this "live" or reinstall Fedora. If you prefer a "clean" install, my advise would be to use a separate home partition and keep a list of installed packages (this can be automated).

Back to the topic. According to NVIDIA website, 3D using IR glasses support was added recently. It is part of the last 295.* series driver and newer and some configuration and monitor require altering xorg.conf as the settings are not part of the default nvidia-settings. I hope this get you started.
