Is there any way of accessing Nvidia card controls under OsX ?. I want to set up a card for stereo/3d.

But, from what I've seen, it depends of what OS X version you are using.
OsX is based on FreeBSD, (a POSIX variant of Linux) and it's the same driver. You can try to start "nvidia-settings" in a terminal to see the options.
If you don't have those options, that VERY possible, usually, you can set them anyway on the card "by hand". That means you have to add some options to the Xorg server (the program handling the display) in the command line or the config files.
However, I don't have all the commands you can put there. I know there are a lot but that's something you would need to look on the Nvidia driver whitepapers.

This will never work – OSX uses a kernel extension based nvidia driver which talks Quartz. X11 (if you use it at all which we only seldom do) sits within the quartz layer.
I’d really like to know this too. I remember the RV player from tweakfilms had a menu item to turn on stereo if the card supported it. But when I tried I got a spectacular crash.
