Not neccesarily. We use 3D-glasses together with regular CRTs on
our Linux-PCs and SGIs for molecular modeling. Infact eDimensional

has a very cheap and excellently working solution with their wired
3D-glasses. They're working so good I bought a set myself to and
use them at home when playing Unreal Tournament (UT) and UT2k3 etc.

Yeah, think of it as two pictures, of which each should run at
about 60-70 Hz. Ie the refresh rate set to 120-140Hz. Many
monitors, or even video cards, can't go that far up unless lowering
the screen resolution significantly.

Could a driver update help? Also try unchecking the "show only
supported modes" on your graphics settings. Pls be aware that some
settings might not be good for your monitor, however I'd say that
for testing it should be ok.
The cards associated with the 3d-glasses we use, are nvidia quadra
something or other. They were specifically ordered for their
ability to show stereo pictures at a reasonably high resolution and
refresh rate (I think they are run at 1200x1024 at 100-120Hz, or
some such). The SGIs run at slightly higher values.
Not all graphics cards are very good at 3D. Higher end nvidias
(like geforce-type ditos) seem to work better than say ati.
