I'm guessing the OP's using Nvidias 3D-vision features, which at least
over
here never worked properly with the elrepo package.

Now when you mention it, I'm not that sure... 8-S
It's been a while since I dabbled with those pesky drivers to enable the
3D-features.

"01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF100GL [Quadro
4000]
(rev a3)"

Used a 3D-monitor as well as outputting the same 3D-image to a 3D-projector.

The computer needing this was only able to output the 3D-image when we used
the proprietary driver from Nvidia.

I recall there were some issues enabling this on Windows 7 as well at the
time, but that's outside the scope of this list. 8-)
