Your X server on your virtual Linux image does not appear to have GLX
support.  If you run 'xdpyino | grep GL' do you see GLX listed?

If not, I am not sure what to say as I don't know what virtual machine
program you are using.  But you need to read up in its docs about
how to properly install a X11 video driver for it.

Dear FreeSurfers,



I am having a problem viewing  in tksurfer: I can only see a sliver of the
brain. This sliver will rotate and do everything that tksurfer is supposed
to do, but I can't view any more of the brain than a tiny piece of the
occipital lobe. I have tried this with several different files, and had the
same issue for each of them. Tkmedit, on the other hand, works fine.



I am using FreeSurfer stable release v4.0.1 on Windows Vista using a
virtual machine.

FREESURFER_HOME: /usr/local/freesurfer



Build stamp: freesurfer-Linux-centos4-stable-pub-v4.0.1



RedHat release: CentOS release 5 (Final)



Kernel info: Linux 2.6.18-8.1.15.el5 i686



I am working through the on-line tutorial and followed the directions to set
my environment to /buckner_data/tutorial_subjs I also set SUBJECTS_DIR to
$TUTORIAL_DATA . I am working in $SUBJECTS_DIR. The "which" command gives me
/usr/local/freesurfer/bin/tksurfer



I ran the command "tksurfer good_output lh inflated".  The following is the
resulting message.

In the email archives I have seen a response that mentioned the NVidia
graphics card. I checked and my machine does have an NVidia graphics card.



Thanks in advance for the help!
