Sony glasstron not displaying properly

[TopazFrost]

No manual came with it, but I found the specifications: It is a sony glasstron LDI-D100B. It says the expected input is: "Field sequential stereo means that there is a single video input to the display. The video source has to provide images for the left and right eyes on alternate fields. The video signal consists of ODD and EVEN fields. The ODD field is used for right eye and EVEN field is used for the left eye."

The displays were already set to extend. I found adding this line helped but making it scale properly:

viz.setOption('viz.fullscreen.monitor',2)

It sounds like you need a card that support quad buffered stereo, like a nVidia Quadro card. Then after enabling stereo in the nVidia control panel run the following code in Vizard:

import viz
viz.go(viz.QUAD_BUFFER | viz.HMD)

gallery = viz.add('gallery.ive')

This won't effect turning on stereo but you'll also want to set the field of view in Vizard to match the glasstron. For that use the viz.fov command.

Unfortunately, my card does not support quad buffering.

Is there a work around?
I know I can have different scenes for left and right eyes, are those sent to the monitor in sequence or in parallel?

Or, can I detect which frame it is on and switch scenes each frame?

Update: Switched to a computer with a Quadro card.

Still doesn't work. I am getting the same complaint about the quad buffering.
This is what I have:

viz.setOption('viz.fullscreen.monitor',2)
viz.go(viz.QUAD_BUFFER|viz.HMD)

This is the complaint I am getting:

Producer::VisualChooser: the requested visual is not available, trying to relax attributes...
Producer::VisualChooser: the requested visual is not available, trying to relax attributes...
Producer::VisualChooser: the requested visual is not available, trying to relax attributes...

I am at a complete loss.

Make sure you have the correct drivers for the card and that stereo is enabled in the nvidia control panel.

Horray working! For reference for others with my problem I did:

viz.setOption('viz.fullscreen.monitor',2)
viz.go(viz.QUAD_BUFFER|viz.HMD)

set the HMD to screen 2
Updated the driver to the earliest version
enabled stereo
cannibalized a IR sensor so it would have the correct plug for the sony glasstron (*sigh*, my biggest problem was the wiring)
