Well I just wanted to say that you are not alone.  I  too am trying to get stereo to work on a Toshiba A660 with Nividia 3d Vision. Windows 7 64bit

I tried your code to detect if stereo is supported and it returns false.

Has stereo false
INIT GL IS: jogamp.opengl.gl4.GL4bcImpl
Chosen GLCapabilities: GLCaps[2 arb: offscr, rgba 8/8/8/8, opaque, accum-rgba 16/16/16/16, dp/st/ms: 24/0/0, one, mono  , hw, GLProfile[GL2/GL2], pbuffer [r2t 0, r2tr 0, float 1]]
GL_VENDOR: NVIDIA Corporation
GL_RENDERER: GeForce GTS 350M/PCI/SSE2
GL_VERSION: 3.0.0

If I just enable stereo it does get enabled but I get the following and sometimes an out of memory exception.

Caused by: javax.media.opengl.GLException: Unable to set pixel format 106 for device context 0xffffffffef0122df: error code 1

Anyway I think I had better start a new topic to track this.
