Visualization Center Setup; Suggested Hardware Requirements - HP xw3400 User Manual

You may need to add a Modeline specific for your displays. The vizconfig tool includes modelines
for hp 20", hp 23", and 30" DFPs. If you want to be explicit about the resolution and the refresh
frequency for CRT displays, then insert the modeline generated by the gtf command directly into the
xorg.conf file in the appropriate "Monitor" section as below. (See Modelines in the sample file and
add your new modeline there).
gtf 1280 1024 96
Sample:
Modeline for 1280x1024 projector or monitor with Stereo
# 1280x1024 @ 96.00 Hz (GTF) hsync: 103.87 kHz; pclk: 182.81 MHz
Modeline "1280x1024_96"
1028 1082 -HSync +Vsync
NOTE: The stereo across 2 graphics cards does not work properly with the Gsync card until you get
NVIDIA's rel87xx+ drivers.
Once you have a fully stereo-capable driver from NVIDIA, you will also be able to turn on the stereo
emitter whenever the Xserver starts up (not just when there is a stereo window on the screen) by using
the option below in the ServerLayout section.
Option "ForceStereoFlipping" "1"
