Hi Miguel,
As Bruce said, the best thing to do is to make sure you have enabled "Hardware Drivers" for your video card and make sure they are up-to-date. However, if you do not have a video card with the appropriate level of OpenGL support for an application (e.g., if you are running in a VM), I have been able to run tkmedit using the mesa SW X11 implementation in Ubuntu 9.04. You can install it with:
sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-swx11
Good luck!

Hi Miguel,
make sure your video driver is up to date. Are there any error messages in the console? Bruce On Wed, 13 Jan 2010, Miguel Burgaleta wrote:
Hi again,
I am experiencing some problems when testing my freesurfer installation in Ubuntu 9.04. When I run tkmedit and tkmsurfer the interface opens OK, but the volume display window behave in a weird manner in both cases: it appears but quickly disappears. In tkmedit, if I click on some of the buttons to choose a view (for instance, axial), the volume window appears but it disappears if I move the cursor out of the selected button. Is this problem familiar to anyone?
Thanks in advance for any help! Miguel
