stereo 3D vision/Quadro M4000

Graphics / Linux Linux
1

I recently updated my graphics card from a Quadro FX3800 to an M4000. Everything works with the new card except the stereo 3D vision. X windows will not start if I have
option stereo “10”
set in my xorg.conf file which is the option needed for the old card to use the 3D vision emitter. The computer boots and runs fine when this option is a “3” but the emitter doesn’t work.

I am running Centos 6.8. I’ve installed the newest linux driver (367.44) and don’t get any errors when I install the driver. When I start xwindows I do see complaints about missing nvidia.ko. Have I missed a step in the installation?

I have a Acer GD235Hz monitor with 1920x1080 resolution with 120 Hz refresh rate. Digging through the x windows log file if I found the following error when
Mode is rejected: PixelClock (286.7 MHz) too high for Display Device (Max: 165.0 MHz). Mode “1920x1080_120” is invalid

I am at the end of my expertise here. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I’ve pasted my xorg.conf file below and would be happy to provide any other information.

Thanks for the suggestion. Same problems after adding in the changes to my xorg.conf. In the end, the displayport to DVI cable provided with the card was not sufficient to get the 120 Hz refresh rate. In case anyone else hits the same problem, I ended up getting the Accell UltraAV displayport to DVI-D dual link adapter which works.
