I work with a similar setup, except we have a Quadro FX 1800 which is not supported by Linux yet. I'm stuck with Windows for now, but I'm familiar with quad-buffered stereo in JOGL applications. Maybe I missed it or doing it a way I haven't tried, but when you say you set GLCapabilities.setStereo(true), you're adding that GLCapabilities object to the GLCanvas' constructor right? Also, I believe in Linux you must set a "stereo" flag in the xorg.conf file. Anyway, I can provide some code that works under Windows to help narrow down your problem:
