Hi Matthew,
This is the typical symptom of either not having the right OpenGL libraries and/or not having a driver that supports the 3d stuff. That particular chip (ES1000) seems to be an orphan as far as Linux support goes - I haven't found a driver installation package on the ATI/AMD site that purports to support it. I'd be interested in hearing which linux distro you are using and which flavor radeon driver you're using.
Is this a Dell PowerEdge server? I have a bunch of them that I can't run tksurfer on for the same reason. So far I've been using a workstation that has an Nvidia card, which works properly with the NVidia proprietary driver installed.

Hi all, I’m having trouble using freesurfer’s tksurfer program (I only get a sliver of the brain). Here is the error info I get:

I’m have an onboard ATI ES1000 515E graphics chip.
Any ideas?? Matthew J. Hoptman, PhD Research Scientist V Nathan S. Kline Institute for Psychiatric Research Research Associate Professor in Psychiatry NYU School of Medicine
