Hello,

I bought a pair of VRex wireless glasses (VR
Surfer?) off of eBay recently and I can't get
them to work with my older system.

I have a Dell Pentium 400 which I can boot to
Win95 or NT4 - it has a big Dell monitor (but
I don't have the model # right now). My video
card is an STB Velocity 128, which doesn't seem
to be directly supported but I can get the
glasses to flicker using the S3 chipset with a
few resolution/color combinations. But I can't
get the monitor to display an image under those
same conditions (screen is just black) with
the included software.

Using different display options, the monitor will
show the test pictures in Depth Studio (some
appear to flicker but I'm not sure if it's the
correct type of flickering). I just can't
figure out what combination will work with
both my monitor and the video card and/or what
else I need to do to get this setup/configured
correctly.

VRex support replied with this info: "if you're
able to put your video card into an interlaced
refresh rate then the glasses will automatically
shutter correctly."

Thanks!

Yes, the VRex VRSurfer controller checks for an interlaced signal, which is quite unusual nowadays. A 'tweaked' page-flipping system, like ASUS used in their later stereo drivers, would also work.

The best solution would be to install the nVidia stereo driver and use the 'ASUS mode'. This mode hardly ever worked for me, but I saw it working on certain PC's.

Just check http://www.stereo3d.com/news/news0062.html
and give it a try.

Christoph

Hi Christoph,

Thanks for your message! I downloaded the
files last night on my notebook. I'll give
them a try when I get the chance to transfer
them to my desktop system.
