Jogl stereoscopic support for GeForce GTS 350M + Nvidia 3d vision + LCD shutter glasses

I have just bought a Toshiba A660 notebook which comes with a Nvidia GeForce GTS 350M with 3d Vision and LCD shutter glasses. Everything works fine with the NVIDIA test programs, and the NVIDIA Stereoscopic 3d Video Player and 3d Vision Photo Viewer, so the hardware and drivers are ok.

But I have problems with Java, I have tried java3d (no stereo support), Xith no luck either and was hoping that jogl would solve the problem.

The following code:

GLDrawableFactory factory = GLDrawableFactory.getFactory(profile);
                  List availableCapabilities =factory.getAvailableCapabilities(abstractDevice);
                boolean hasStereo = false;
        for (Iterator it=availableCapabilities.iterator();it.hasNext();){
            Object ob = it.next();
            if (ob instanceof GLCapabilities){
            System.out.println(ob);
                if (((GLCapabilities)ob).getStereo()){
                    hasStereo = true;
                    System.out.println("Has stereo!!!!");
                    break;
                }
            }
        }
System.out.println("Has stereo "+hasStereo);

 returns: Has stereo false


------
If I just try to use stereo anyway
after configuring the debug pipeline with GL2 gl = drawable.getGL().getGL2();
                drawable.setGL(new DebugGL2(gl));
using the code:
        gl.glDrawBuffer(side==0?GL2.GL_BACK_LEFT:GL2.GL_BACK_RIGHT);

Any ideas.

Its such a shame that at last a comodity notebook has 3d stereo support and java isnt able to use it.

Thanks in advance

I guess only 3D vision "pro" support opengl?!

Yes, only NVIDIA professional graphics cards (NVIDIA Quadro FX) support quad buffering which is necessary to use stereoscopic glasses with OpenGL as I already said in another thread.
