Hello again, After a system reboot, I am seeing these messages when trying to open tkmedit or tksurfer:
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". GLUT: Fatal Error in tkmedit.bin: OpenGL GLX extension not supported by display: :0.0
I've searched around, and seen that changing "nv" to "nvidia" and adding "Load glx" in xorg.conf should work; however, the X server doesn't start when I do either or both. Has anyone had trouble with this?
Thanks, Chris

what is the version of your driver? ie
cat /proc/driver/nvidia/version
the latest is around 260.19.12
the problem you see is something we've seen with old nvidia drivers, whereby updating the driver has fixed the problem. not sure why this would just happen now for you.
to update (must be root or use sudo):
/sbin/init 3 /usr/bin/nvidia-installer --update

Hi, when trying to look at surfaces in tksurfer, all I see is a small part of the data in the posterior of the brain (see attached for example). There are no errors on the command line when I run tksurfer. This only started happening very recently. Here's some system info: (CentOS 5.5, 64-bit; FreeSurfer v5.0)
[freesurfer@occipital TGA]$ uname -a Linux occipital.tch.harvard.edu 2.6.18-194.26.1.el5 #1 SMP Tue Nov 9 12:54:20 EST 2010 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[freesurfer@occipital TGA]$ /sbin/lspci | grep -i nv 40:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G73GL [Quadro FX 560] (rev a1)
I wouldn't think I need to update my graphics card driver. But, does anyone know how to fix this?
