Hi Matthew,

This is the typical symptom of either not having the right OpenGL libraries and/or not having a driver that supports the 3d stuff. That particular chip (ES1000) seems to be an orphan as far as Linux support goes - I haven't found a driver installation package on the ATI/AMD site that purports to support it. I'd be interested in hearing which linux distro you are using and which flavor radeon driver you're using.

Is this a Dell PowerEdge server? I have a bunch of them that I can't run tksurfer on for the same reason. So far I've been using a workstation that has an Nvidia card, which works properly with the NVidia proprietary driver installed.

Hi all,
I’m having trouble using freesurfer’s tksurfer program (I only get a sliver of the brain). Here is the error info I get:

The driver info (from /etc/X11/xorg.conf) is:
Section "Device"
  BoardName    "ES1000 515E"
  BusID        "14:13:0"
  Driver       "radeon"
  Identifier   "Device[0]"
  Option       "GARTSize" "32"
  Option       "usevnc" "yes"

Section "DRI"
    Group      "video"
    Mode       0660
EndSection


I’m have an onboard ATI ES1000 515E graphics chip.

Any ideas??
