I have had some experience with various HMD's, the sony glasstron PLM-S700 (monoscopic) the phillips Scuba (monoscopic) and most recently the I-Glasses SVGA 3D. God bless Ebay BTW. :-)

My configuration is a quadro 4go 500 on a dell laptop running both redhat and winxp. I have played games like quake3a in stereo using the nvidia drivers. Other 3d experience is with
some openGL applications that use the native quad buffer support, and of course the NVIDIA test display.

Heres the question: With page flipped stereo, where alternate left/right images are sent over one wire, I notice that in all the above cases the left and right images occasionally get swapped.

Wondering, is this a hardware issue? Have people experienced this with similar software
configurations and different hardware?

Do displays that take 2 video inputs exhibit this behavior?

Displays that take 2 video inputs do not exhibit this behavior, they should stay completely independent throughout the system. The problem you describe is related to the way a system recieves and sends the frame-interlaced signal to each eye. There is probably a marginal problem in the chip which does this, but that part is more of a guess as we don't use that technology.
