But this glass cannot be used in linux.
Can you help me?

The NVIDIA 3D Vision glasses only work on Linux if you have an NVIDIA
Quadro graphics card. Without a Quadro card, you need a different method
to display 3D video, e.g. anaglyph glasses, or an external 3D TV set.

Yes and no. Officially, it won't work under Linux if you don't have a Quadro Graphics Card. But you don't need such an expensive card to make it work under Windows. So there are attempts out there to get it to work under Linux.

(extract from the README )
This is an experimental proof of concept to get the NVIDIA 3d stereo
controller working with OpenGL on linux.

If you dare to try this out, you will need the following things first:

- The NVIDIA 3d stereo controller and compatible shutter glasses
- Hardware accelerated graphics
- A monitor capable of 120 Hz (I didn't try out any other refresh rate)

- The firmware extracted from the windows driver (see below)

- libusb
- GLUT
- gcc and make
- XF86vmode

• Tux Stereo Viewer

According to the thread http://forum.ubuntu-fr.org/viewtopic.php?id=360579&p=21, Magestik is currently working on his own solution to make it work.
