I support what Marcos found. Freesurfer does not work on CentOS in
VirtualBox because of the 3D error in the VirtualBox driver for graphics
under CentOS. I solved the problem by using Vmware player instead. It seems
more mature in the 3D driver.
If others would like to use freesurfer on a virtualmachine i
would recommend CentOS on Vmware player.
I had the problem with Freesurfer 5,3, VirtualBox 4.2.16 with the adons
4.2.16_86992.
When using ubuntu i have had some errors in FSL. So i would stick to CentOS
on Vmware if you need to run on a windows 8 64bit machine

Best regards
