Hi guys,
So, the infamous tksurfer "sliver" display problem has reared its ugly
head on some of the systems that I'm accessing, but in a manner that I
can't make any sense of across the systems.  

Machine 1: CentOS 5.5, 64 bit, FS versions 4.5.0 and 5.0.0 installed
Sliver problem is present for v4.5.0, but not 5.0.0

Machine 2: RHEL Server 5.7, 64 bit, FS versions 4.5.0, 5.0.0, and 5.1.0
installed.  Sliver problem is present for all 3 FS versions.

For both machines, I'm viewing the results in a VNC server, and
'glxgears' works fine in each.  

The results of 'glxinfo' in a terminal within the VNC Server on each
machine indicates that the same rendering is being used on each.
i.e,. 
direct rendering: No
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
OpenGL version string: 1.2 (1.5 Mesa 6.5.1)

What I find particularly puzzling is that tksurfer works fine on FS
v5.0.0 on Machine 1, but not FS 4.5.0 on the same machine.  Yet the
sliver problem is present for v5.0.0 on Machine 2, indicating that it
isn't simply an FS version issue either.

I was wondering if the above behavior makes sense to someone, so that I
can have something more concrete to take to the admins of each system.

thanks,
-MH
