Dear Free Surfers,
I'm having a problem I've seen posts about in the archive, but have not been able to see the solution to it.
If I start tksurfer bert rh pial (as the example says), the display only shows a small fraction of the brain and nothing more. I've tried some of the suggestions such as zooming, the 'Auto redraw' option, but to no use.
I have tried on two of our Linux machines, with CentOS 5, either logged in locally or remotely with NoMachines. I've got external video cards and the GLX gears works fine at ~100 FPS (remotely) and ~1000FPS (locally). The machines have 8 processors, are 64 bit, 500 GB+ hard drives and 4GB of RAM, and external NVIDIA compatible video cards.
A colleague who is running Fedora 11 has no problems. Is this an OS type problem and any way to fix it? Thanks in advance for your help
Best wishes, -Jason
Hi Jason,
have you tried updating the video driver? I think that's the standard solution. Nick is traveling so won't be able to get back to you for a day or so if that doesn't work.

Hi Jason
Try this under tcsh
setenv double_buffer_flag 1
it is known to work for certain platform/freesurfer combos
