How can I make Ubuntu (preferably gnome desktop) be 3d?

heres the requirements for 3d of the 330 http://www.nvidia.com/object/3D_Vision_Discover_requirements.html

Says it only support windows, maybe not what you wanted but maybe run win7 in virtualbox then download 3d vision

But hey dont let me discourage you, there's always a loophole

Found this project: https://launchpad.net/compiz-plugin-stereo3d You can obtain the most recent stable package for your architecture here: https://code.launchpad.net/~ddudek/+archive/stereo3d-stable/+packages

open CompizConfig settings manager go to effects and check the box next to Stereo 3D

I Tested this with Unity. I'm not sure if it works with gnome desktop

Please let us know how well it worked for you. My cat destroyed my 3D glasses some time ago.
