Thank you.
When I run 'xdpyino | grep GL' it says "xdpyino: Command not found" (this is
in the tcsh shell)
I am running it on VMware Player version 2.0.2 and using the FSL_vm5_32
virtual machine from the FSL website. If this helps and you can give me
further instructions, I would greatly appreciate it. Otherwise, thank you
for the help that you have already given.

Your X server on your virtual Linux image does not appear to have GLX
support. If you run 'xdpyino | grep GL' do you see GLX listed?
If not, I am not sure what to say as I don't know what virtual machine
program you are using. But you need to read up in its docs about
how to properly install a X11 video driver for it.

Dear FreeSurfers,
I am having a problem viewing in tksurfer: I can only see a sliver of the
brain. This sliver will rotate and do everything that tksurfer is supposed
to do, but I can't view any more of the brain than a tiny piece of the
occipital lobe. I have tried this with several different files, and had
the
same issue for each of them. Tkmedit, on the other hand, works fine.
I am using FreeSurfer stable release v4.0.1 on Windows Vista using a
virtual machine.
FREESURFER_HOME: /usr/local/freesurfer
Build stamp: freesurfer-Linux-centos4-stable-pub-v4.0.1

I am working through the on-line tutorial and followed the directions to
set
my environment to /buckner_data/tutorial_subjs I also set SUBJECTS_DIR to
$TUTORIAL_DATA . I am working in $SUBJECTS_DIR. The "which" command gives
me
/usr/local/freesurfer/bin/tksurfer
I ran the command "tksurfer good_output lh inflated". The following is
the
resulting message.

In the email archives I have seen a response that mentioned the NVidia
graphics card. I checked and my machine does have an NVidia graphics card.
Thanks in advance for the help!
