Hi,
I have just installed freesurfer on a CentoOS5 virtual machine (VMware), where the host OS is Windows. I am experiencing the "sliver problem" - only a sliver of the brain is being rendered to view. I have gone through the steps described in http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/TksurferDisplayProblems, as follows:
1. NVidia driver update: the virtual machine doesn't have a /usr/bin/nvidia-installer, but I updated the driver installed on the host machine. Is this good enough, or should I update it somewhere under the virtual machine too?
2. doublebufferflag - I tried setting it to 1, but that didn't help
3. VirtualGL - since I'm sitting directly at the virtual machine, I didn't install this.
4. Override native graphics libraries: tried it too (copied the relevant file from the Martinos Center and set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH to its directory), no change.
5. VirtualBox - I didn't install this since the virtualization tool I'm using is VMware Workstation, not VirtualBox. Is there a way to run the relevant freesurfer version on a VMware virtual machine? I have done enough installation work on this machine that the option of using VirtualBox instead is strongly unappealing.
Can anyone instruct me how to resolve this issue?
Thanks!! Dahlia.
