[Freesurfer] FS on Fedora Core 5, GLXBadLargeRequest
Hi, Around the 25th of April there was a brief discussion regarding running FreeSurfer on a FC5 machine. Some users were having a problem with tksurfer not displaying and an error with the X server (GLXBadLargeRequest). I just installed the centos _x64 3.0.3 verson of FreeSurfer on a FC5 machine, nvidia graphics card, and experienced the same error. However, Nick mentioned that a FC5 build of FreeSurfer is available at ftp://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/pub/dist named freesurfer-Linux-fc5-x86_64-dev20060426.tar.gz I installed this build on my machine, and this version of tksurfer displays properly (at least a first test, fsaverage + curvature + aparc.anot + wireframe) Nick went on to say "This is a 'dev' version, meaning its built from a codebase that is slightly ahead of date with the stable version, but none-the-less should behave identically to stable. This FC5 build won't be updated on a regular basis, since it is not one of our standard platforms (it was built offsite)." Just for kicks, I linked the FC5 tksurfer into my freesurfer_centos bin, and that also seems to work. Thus I can use the centos_3.0.3 version of everything except tksurfer, for which I use the FC5 version [EMAIL PROTECTED] local]# cd freesurfer_centos_3.0.3/bin/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] bin]# mv tksurfer tksurferorig [EMAIL PROTECTED] bin]# ln -s ../../freesurfer_fc5_3/bin/tksurfer . -- -- I'm only in it for the glory. > Glenn Lawyer < > +352 061 967 244 < > Instituttgruppe for psykiatri < > Postboks 1130 Blindern < > 0318 Oslo < < http://folk.uio.no/davidgl > <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><:) ___ Freesurfer mailing list Freesurfer@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu https://mail.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/mailman/listinfo/freesurfer

Re: [Freesurfer] FS on Fedora Core 5, GLXBadLargeRequest
Glenn, You are correct in finding that just the tksurfer app is the one binary from the standard centos4_x86_64 stable freesurfer build that does not work on fc5. By coincidence, I have been working with a 32bit FC5 platform, and found that this is true. That is, the standard centos4 stable build works on 32bit FC5, except for tksurfer. It was necessary to update the nvidia driver on the FC5 platform to get rid of 'GLXBadLargeRequest' messages, but it also necessitated a special build of tksurfer (to fix a problem where the glut lib was not initialized). So, in short, I will remove the FC5 x86_64 'dev' build, and post the special tksurfer builds (for fc5 32bit and 64bit), and include a notice that fc5 users should use the centos4 build, but to copy over tksurfer with the special fc5 version. I still recommend updating the nvidia driver (if using that brand of vid card), as it clearly fixes one of the problems. Thanks for pointing this out!

Re: [Freesurfer] center of pial surface in world coordinates
Hi Martijn, we still support COR. I'm at a disadvantage here in that I've not used Neurolens before. I'm not even sure what the problem is. You can show the surfaces in neurolens and in tksurfer, so what's the problem? doug martijn van den heuvel wrote: Dear Bruce, Thanks for your quick reply. I posted this question on the Neurolens-forum as well. I too think it is just a problem of two different coordinate system. Rick (of the Neurolens forum) mentioned that the pial surface coordinate to world coordinate system is stated in a COR.info file. However, I think that the COR.info file is no longer supported by freesurfer, is this correct? Is there an alternative? Sorry, if my question was not totally clear. I will describe what I did: I translated my anatomy file to talairach space (only translation, no scaling, resliced it so there is not .mat file ) and used it (in SPM analyse format) as input for the freesurfer-train (recon-all -autorecon1,2,3). The recon-all dev table suggests that freesurfer uses brain.finalsurfs.mgz (same orientation as T1.mgz) as the input for creating the surface pial files. In my original anatomy file the (0,0,0) coordinate is around the center of the brain (in talairach space). As my input anatomy is already in Talairach space orig.mgz is also in talairach space and there is a minimum translation by freesurfer to create T1.mgz (I checked this and indead talairach.xfm is almost a 1 1 1 matrix). If freesurfer uses this as the input for the surface rendering, should not be the (0,0,0) coordinate in the middle of the pial surface? Using tksurfer this is indead the case, however using Neurolens this is not the case, there is a large shift. There is a small shift from talairach coordinate system to RAS system, but my surface rendering has a much larger shift (in my example around 45 mm in the Z-direction). Maybe this COR.info file is the solution, holding the translation from scanner coordinates <-> RAS, however I don't have an example of this file and therefore do not now what this file looks like and what it does. Hope you can help me with this problem.

Re: [Freesurfer] center of pial surface in world coordinates
Hi Doug,Thanks for your reply. Indeed, I can open the surface in both programs, but there seems to be a shift in a coordinate system. I want to plot fiber tracts in Neurolens as well, so I need to know where I can find the exact (0,0,0) coordinate in the pial surface. Using tksurfer the (0,0,0) coordinate is in the center of the volume (RAS), however that is not the case using NeuroLens. So, I thought that maybe there is a translation applied when loading the surface into tksurfer. greetings,martijnOn 6/8/06, Doug Greve <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi Martijn, we still support COR. I'm at a disadvantage here in that I've not used Neurolens before. I'm not even sure what the problem is. You can show the surfaces in neurolens and in tksurfer, so what's the problem? doug martijn van den heuvel wrote: Dear Bruce, Thanks for your quick reply. I posted this question on the Neurolens-forum as well. I too think it is just a problem of two different coordinate system. Rick (of the Neurolens forum) mentioned that the pial surface coordinate to world coordinate system is stated in a COR.info file. However, I think that the COR.info file is no longer supported by freesurfer, is this correct? Is there an alternative? Sorry, if my question was not totally clear. I will describe what I did: I translated my anatomy file to talairach space (only translation, no scaling, resliced it so there is not .mat file ) and used it (in SPM analyse format) as input for the freesurfer-train (recon-all -autorecon1,2,3). The recon-all dev table suggests that freesurfer uses brain.finalsurfs.mgz (same orientation as T1.mgz) as the input for creating the surface pial files. In my original anatomy file the (0,0,0) coordinate is around the center of the brain (in talairach space). As my input anatomy is already in Talairach space orig.mgz is also in talairach space and there is a minimum translation by freesurfer to create T1.mgz (I checked this and indead talairach.xfm is almost a 1 1 1 matrix). If freesurfer uses this as the input for the surface rendering, should not be the (0,0,0) coordinate in the middle of the pial surface? Using tksurfer this is indead the case, however using Neurolens this is not the case, there is a large shift. There is a small shift from talairach coordinate system to RAS system, but my surface rendering has a much larger shift (in my example around 45 mm in the Z-direction). Maybe this COR.info file is the solution, holding the translation from scanner coordinates <-> RAS, however I don't have an example of this file and therefore do not now what this file looks like and what it does. Hope you can help me with this problem. Really appreciate your time. greetings, martijn > > On 6/7/06, Bruce Fischl < [EMAIL PROTECTED] > wrote: >> >> I think it's probably just displaying them in different coordinate >> systems. tksurfer displays in an RAS coordinate system in which (0,0,0) >> is essentially the center of the volume, whereas Neurolens is probably >> displaying scanner coordinates.
