Hi,

After getting freesurfer to run smoothly on my Debian Linux computer, I have been trying unsuccessfully to run freesurfer remotely. Some solutions work, although *very* slowly (just the 3D rendering portion is slow). For example freesufer will run, and render OK on another Linux client, or the Starnet X-Win32 MS Windows based X server, but so slowly it is unusable.

I can run glxgears remotely with reasonable speed (at least on the Linux client) so GLX seems to be working, but running freesurfer remotely is too slow to be considered useful.

I have tried a number of things, such as checking my GLX extensions and using the tksurfer.static binary and trying a GLX enabled VNC server. None of these have improved the speed at all.

I'd like to hear the groups experiences with running freesufer remotely. Does anyone do this on a regular basis? What method to you use? Are you satisfied with the performance? Does anyone have a tricks needed to accomplish this? Or is freesufer really meant to be run locally?

Please share any experience you've had. Thanks!
