OK, I've got my spanking new Mac Pro with the (very expensive) NVIDIA Quadro FX 4500 and I bought a shiny new ViewSonic G225f to augment my LCD display. I plug in the Stereographics E2 emitter...and now what? I'm not getting hardware stereo (which isn't surprising, it surely couldn't be that easy), but I'm not finding a lot of guidance about what it is I need to do. One question is whether I have the appropriate build. This is what comes up in the text window when I launch: This PyMOL Executable Build incorporates Open-Source PyMOL 0.99rc6 I do find this comment on the Wiki: "The trick to getting MacPyMOL to work in stereo on the second monitor is to force it to initially open on that display by providing an appropriate "-X #" (and perhaps -Y #) option on launch. That way the OpenGL context will be created with stereo support. ./MacPyMOL.app/Contents/MacOS/MacPyMOL -X -1000 ./MacPyMOL.app/Contents/MacOS/MacPyMOL -X -1000 -Y 100" But I don't understand the syntax. This is invoked from the command line, I assume, but ./something.app/somethingelse doesn't look like the path to an executable to me...If I simply try ./ MacPyMOL.app -X 1000, I get back "Permission denied." My apologies if I'm being unusually stupid. The emitter worked when last tested (a month or so ago, on an SGI).
