Aloha,
tksurfer is extremely picky about the underlaying opengl libraries,
many do not work at all. People had dofferent degrees of success
updating the graphic drivers on their computers to the most recent
versions their hardware maker saupplies (if I recall correctlt
especially with nvidia cards). One thing that worked for me was to
force the use of redhat server 4 opengl libraries on a system that
only runs with software opengl (mesa I presume), or alternatively use
virtualbox (virtual boxes opengl drivers play nicely with tksurfer).
Thanks to Pedro Paulo Oliveira you can even download a virtualbox
image that should work right away
(http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/pub/dist/freesurfer/4.5.0/VirtualBoxFS45-Sep2009.rar
but see
http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/pub/dist/freesurfer/4.5.0/VirtualBoxFS45-Sep2009.README.txt
first
). The virtualbox image can be used from windows macosx and linux...
Good luck
Sebastian
