The decreased admin overhead, bandwidth and disk savings of sharing a single installation is a significant benefit. |

| 28 | -## 3D Stereo on RHEL 7 systems with Gnome 3 |
|
| 29 | - |
|
| 30 | -Nvidia 3D stereo typically requires disabling the Composite extension in X.org. Unfortunately, this extension is required to run Gnome 3 and the gdm login mangager supplied as the default desktop in CentOS and many other linux distributions. |
|
| 31 | - |
|
| 32 | -As of version 337.19 of the nvidia driver, some Quadro configurations can operate with the composite extension enabled, but stereo functionality depends on a stereo-aware composite manager. The Composite manager in CentOS7 Gnome3 is not stereo aware and 3D stereo does not work by default. |
|
| 33 | - |
|
| 34 | -In order to use 3D stereo on Gnome3 systems, you can switch from Gnome3/gdm to MATE/lightdm. |
|
| 35 | -The MATE Desktop Environment is the continuation of GNOME 2 which is the default desktop in CentOS 5 and 6. |
|
| 36 | - |
|
| 37 | -To change to MATE on CentOS7 systems, first, install the Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL) repo: |
|
| 38 | - |
|
| 39 | - |
|
| 40 | - yum install epel-release |
|
| 41 | - |
|
| 42 | - |
|
| 43 | -Then install the nvidia drivers from epel |
|
| 44 | - |
|
| 45 | - |
|
| 46 | - yum install kmod-nvidia |
|

|
| 53 | - |
|
| 54 | - |
|
| 55 | -Next, install lightdm which doesn't require the composite extension. |
