If this fixes things, then either keep restarting softgenlock until it gets the sync the right way or edit ~/.vrizerrc and where it reads: If you are having trouble seeing the 3D effect, try putting your glasses on upside down. Please note that the system has no way of knowing which frame will be in sync with which eye. Replacing /whereever/you/untarred/vrizer with the path to the file vrizer.soĦ) Launch your chosen app from the command line e.g.ħ) Confirm that your app draws two side by side views by panning the desktop left/rightĨ) In the second terminal window, change to the directory where you untarred softgenlock and type:ĩ) To return sanity to your desktop, click on the terminal window running softgenlock, and hit ctrl-C This only needs to be done once until the computer is switched off.ĥ) Back in the first terminal window, type:Įxport LD_PRELOAD=/wherever/you/untarred/vrizer/vrizer.so
Click on it again and select Stereo - On/Resync.
If it is a normally fullscreen app, start it and set it to run in windowed mode then exit.ģ) In the first terminal window, change to the directory where you saved E-D.exe from E-Dimensional and type:Ĥ) The E-D activator widget should then appear on your GNOME panel.
The license allows redistribution of the binary though.ġ) Disable compiz if it is running. NB the nf is have supplied is setup for use with this technique, the one from ARS technica comes setup for anaglph.Ĥ) Don't ask me for the source, i dont have it. Hit ctrl-C to end.Ģ) Edit the supplied nf to suit your display resolution (supplied config presetup for 1024x768), config help in README. softgenlock (hit enter, need to have root access)ġ1) Your display should flicker then you should see both halves of the virtual desktop overlaid. NVidia users can do this with the nvidia-settings tool.ġ0) still in the softgenlock directory type sudo.
