Hello Xue,
Via what method are you remotely accessing the Linux cluster? (VNC, cygwin, etc) I am not sure if it's your X client or the X server, but one of them, or maybe both, possibly lack support for OpenGL.
If you aren't already using a VNC system that there I would try that option first.
If you are using VNC and not having any luck, than another potential solution is try downloading and install Xming from this page: http://www.straightrunning.com/XmingNotes. (Try using the version with the PuTTY SSH Client). Xming is a X server for Windows and all OpenGL rendering will be performed on your local machine, which could potentially be quite slow, but may be adequate for your needs.
Hope this helps.

dear freesurfer experts, I tried to install freesurfer in a remote linux cluster, when I completed the installation, and began to run the freesurfer gui use my own windows PC, the command line showed erro belowing information :
[wanglhlab@node01 freesurfer]$ tkmedit bert orig.mgz GLUT: Fatal Error in tkmedit.bin: OpenGL GLX extension not supported by display: localhost:11.0
could anyone tell me the reason why my installation failed? The video card on cluster is Matrox Graphics, Inc. MGA G200eW WPCM450 (rev 0a), my own PC video card is AMD Radeon HD 7800 Series.
