How do I draw 3D Stereo using DirectX9 and PageFlip?
I would like to render a 3d primitive on 3D Stereo device.
My hardware support PageFlip ( this means that each frame is sent to diffrent Eye - left/right)
Can any one point me to a good sample source code?
NOT IN OPENGL!!!!

I have tried the nvidia Stereo3D drivers .... I have test it on XP and vista , the problem with the XP version that it use old driver (91.31) it was unstable - and many times cause a "BLUE SCREEN"
when it worked it worked fine .. and all that I had to do ,is work in fullscreen, and add few line of code to enable the Stereo - Using Stereo API . The driver on XP gave me the option to choose different type of Stereo -> Page Flip / Red Blue / Side by Side .... , that is very good
The Stereo3D on Vista Driver is still under test , it work with the latest Display driver.
The main disadvantage is that , it only give you the option of Red/Blue stereo - you must have the right hardware in order to have more options....

I have read most of the links already before ... and , I must say you have reached the most importance ones..., SciTech says that the support in DirectX7 worked for very few vendors , and in DirectX 8 they remove the support..., so I am not sure if anything works on DirectX9...

To date, only DirectX 7 provides the more correct API for stereoscopic display support. However this can only be implemented by few OEMs which can actually provide hardware-based stereo page-flipping capability, and none have actually done so. The FlipStereo() functionality was folded in to the existing Flip() function using the added DDFLIP_STEREO flag. As such, this means that only fullscreen display modes could be used for stereo page flipping. Refer to the DX7 D3DIM SDK for code examples using the D3D Framework library. DirectX 8 changed the D3D API all over again, and does not support stereo surfaces (most likely due to lack of OEM support for stereo in the DirectX 7 API).
<-----------------
The Latest Nvidia Driver , worked for me only using Red/Blue glasses , I couldn't find any PageFlip option although in the link you sent , there are option to work with pageFlip ...
Thanks for your effort.
I will test it out....
