Yup, I have read the same .. :(
They have some D3D hack to support some windows games
with their own method of generating a stereo effect.
However .. this does not support true stereo, ie where you
actually render the scene twice (final fp step).

Too bad, both companies NV/AMD withold stereo from the 'consumers',
only offer it to the pretty expensive pro cards.
