[Request] Add 3D Vision Drivers

[cypher1999]

Hello, friends ! I have an older Asus VG278H monitor with 3D Vision support. I use this for ULMB (ULMB-Hack). But in the new Nvidia drivers this feature was deleted. Therefore, i have to use old drivers (v.425.31). Can your program help and add a 3D driver as a feature in 1 click? Thanks.

Wow that is one specific request :-D

Have you tried to isolate that specific part of the driver you need from the 425.31? Finding which files, folders, and lines in the config file correspond to it might allow for you to add this feature in yourself. Of course it is very manual this way, but better than waiting for an update to the tool in the meanwhile I guess.

One easy way you could isolate the files you need is to get the last driver you mentioned and the one right after in to two separate folders and use the Linux command diff. For instance, diff -rq "driver 1 folder" "driver 2 folder" would do the trick for you. Of course, again, this is very manual and it will in fact highlight all differences between the two folders instead of just what you are looking for but it will help I hope.

Best!

Please elaborate, I'm not exactly sure what the steps are for that.

I went back and checked. It is the 3D vision driver the OP is talking about. I hadn't even noticed that it was gone from the driver until now. Apparently, the OP is dependent on these modules (if you go to driver version 419.17, they are there - namely, 3D vision stereo support, a). If you read my post one above (here), it might be a valid method (I didn't test it though) for migrating features between drivers - given that they are not in conflict with other updates, hence the testing required.

It is a big ask as a feature.

Ok I think I understand.

Can you try if copying the "3DVision" folder of the old installer to the new installer's folder structure works?

ie, it automatically installs 3D Vision, too, and it works?

So I went and downloaded 425.31 (the last I could see with 3D vision included) and 430.64 (the one right after). These versions also match with the OP's request.

Simply copying the two 3D vision folders to the newer driver folder was not enough. Checking out all differences in between just these versions resulted in 467 files that were different too. So I went to check any lines for 3D vision under setup.cfg, to my surprise these bits of the new config file actually do include the 3D vision under dependencies.

Hah, but to my joy, there exists a setup executable for 3D vision alone, under the NV3DVision folder! So if you want to include the 3D vision drivers with the NVcleaninstall; just extract the 425.31 driver and host the two 3D vision drivers as separate installers with a tickbox in the software As long as they are compatible with a current driver, say 440.xx, they should work fine if they are as separate drivers as they seem. They installed fine on my machine but I cannot test without a 3D vision monitor.

@cypher1999 you can follow the same process, just extract the 425.31 as an archive and within there will be two 3D vision folders. Install the driver via the setup, and the usb driver as a driver (i.e. reverse click on the .inf file and select install).

Thank you more friends for your help! Now I am at work (we have morning) - in the evening I will try according to your instructions!

Sure

Please keep us up to date to whether this works, at least for one of the newer drivers.
