Hi,
we are running the current version of freesurfer on a number of SunFire X2200 servers (Fedora Core 7). Everything works fine when we run tksurfer remotely from some Linux and MacOS X boxes on the X2200 servers. However, when using a SunFire T2000 server (Solaris 10) as a front end, we experience the following problem when trying to run tksurfer on the X2200 systems: "window type not found" and tksurfer's graphics window remains blank. Solaris 10 on that machine uses the Xorg server with Mesa, so, in theory, GLX extensions should not be the problem here (tkmedit, infact, does work). This is an important issue for us, as we could use freesurfer on our SunRay thin clients if we get it to work on the T2000 (I am aware that, in an ideal world, we would want to run all of freesurfer on some local system using hardware acceleration, however, our server/ thin client-setup - although not ideal for freesurfer - does make a lot of sense for other applications).
Many thanks in advance, Stefan
