Derin, To answer your first question, the solution to that particular problem that you reference was not to install the BLT libs (as they are included with freesurfer in the $FREESURFER_HOME/lib/tcltktixblt directory and found by setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH in the tksurfer script), but rather by changing the 'DefaultDepth' from 16 to 24 in the 'Screen' Section in the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf file.
