Mine should be arriving tomorrow or Monday, I'm intending to try and use it with Linux. From what I can tell, the display more-or-less presents as a normal 2d monitor which expects a tiled grid of views that differ in azimuth: have a look at https://vimeo.com/lookingglassfactory

Correction - the views are interleaved, and the details of that interleaving depend on the calibration of your individual Looking Glass.

https://github.com/lonetech/LookingGlass has a Python tool that grabs the calibration out of the looking glass, and an OpenGL shader that can be used with MPlayer to take the tiled videos from the vimeo link and display them on the LG.

It's a really cool effect in person - I'm totally glad I sprung for one!
