Here are my specs:
Matching 56.72 drivers
Windows XP Pro
GeForce4 ti4600 Dual-head
DirectX 9b

Dual-Head Stereo works great until I enable any Anti-aliasing. The left screen/view still looks good but the right one is all messed up with weird colors and overlaid views, almost like the scan rate is wrong, but it's not.

Anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it? I'd really like to know with what video cards and driver pairs people have gotten Dual-Head stereo to work, with regular AA or the new FSAA which I don't know much about.

Thanks!

I've only tried it with single head. a couple of my games required the mip mapping (quality) level lowered to loose the sychadelic colors.

But you didn't get overlaid views, just crazy colors? What are video card and driver pair are you using?

Thanks.

Actually, I'd be interested in hearing about anyone who had trouble getting AA and stereo working at the same time and what they did to fix it. Please let me know what video card and driver pair you used. Thanks!

Actually, I tried it again and I don't have the crazy colors on the right screen, justthat the view on the right screen is interlaced when AA or AF is on. Anyone find a driver pair that fixed this problem for them?

I tested the other stereo modes and found, unfortunately, that this problem is unique to dual-head stereo mode. I also tried turing off and on every setting in nVidia's advanced settings. Nothing helped besides turing AA off :( .

I stared closely at what is happening on the right screen with 2xAA - it's drawing the first half of the first line all the way across the screen and then drawing the second half below that and so on, so the result is an interlaced view of the top left and right quadrants of the screen. It's like it's pulling lines straight out of some screen buffer that's shared by AA.

So, has anyone got Anti-Aliasing to work in dual-head stereo mode? If so, please tell me what video card and drivers you are using. Thanks!

Could anyone with a dual-head setup please set their stereoviewer type to 4, turn on some anti-aliasing and see if it works? If it does, I'll run out and get the video card and drivers you have! :) Thanks.

OK, I figured it out. Switching which diplay was the primary fixed the problem! Ahhh, no jaggies and 3D. Nice.

Are you using 2 projectors with your setup? If so are they LCD, CRT, or DLP?

Oh, BTW, I upgraded to the 61.77 drivers also, but that may not have been the problem.

I'm not using projectors, just two 21" monitors on indefinite loan from work. I then use a mirrored stereoscope to cross my eyes for me. A $40 personal-stereo solution with no ghosting compared to the thousands a dual-projector setup costs. I don't have room for a projector setup anyways.

How much do a couple of CRT or DLP projectors capable of 1280x960 cost nowadays anyhow?
