The hardware used is a Dell Precision 390 workstation with a NVIDIA Quadro® FX 3500 Graphic card and two projectors mounted on a special rack with polarizing lenses.
The software on the software side, the mutex-globe branch was installed on an Ubuntu natty, using the classic (no effects) desktop since stereo cannot be used with the X composite extension. The graphic driver is the 270.41.06 coming from the restricted driver in Ubuntu. The modification I had to do to the /etc/xorg.conf generated from nvidia-settings file where the addition of:
Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "off"
EndSection
and within the Section “Device”:
Option "Stereo" "4"
