Hi d.m.

The performance setting is in the "view settings panel" - this is accessed through the spanner button on the toolbar.

Cheers,

Paul

Paul,

I tried to locate the 'Performance' option in the view settings panel, but I could not find it. I've attached a picture.

I'm running Ubuntu 14.04 and I have fsl installed via neurodebian. I downloaded FSLeyes from here:

Thanks.

d.m.

Hi D.m.,

(Thanks Kristian!)

FSLeyes may have defaulted to running in a lower performance mode, where it pre-renders slices for all of your loaded images. You can check this via the 'Performance' option in the view settings panel (the spanner button). 

If it is set to 'Fastest', then FSLeyes will work pre-generate images in the background. If you get acceptable performance with either of the other two choices (Better or 'Best looking'), then you can configure FSLeyes to default to them via the '-p' command line flag ('-p 2' for better, or '-p 3' for best looking).

Cheers,

Paul

Thank You!


That workaround helped a great deal. I followed the steps described in the wiki, and it worked.


The OpenGL version string is now 2.1, and I no longer receive error messages.


The only additional steps were to place that mesa directory in a selected path,e.g.,/path/mesa-10.1.3/. Substitute that path for `pwd` in this line:


export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=`pwd`/build/linux-x86_64-debug/gallium/targets/libgl-xlib/:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}
becomes


export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/mesa-10.1.3/build/linux-x86_64-debug/gallium/targets/libgl-xlib/:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}


Added the above line with the modified path to my .bashrc file.


Works fine now each time I call fsleyes from the command line.


One thing I noticed is that fsleyes used about 23% CPU power even while open, but idle. Is this normal?


Thanks again.


d.m.

Hi d.m. and Paul,

I think, x2go only supports GLX 1.2.

Have you tried this workaround:
http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/wiki:development:glx-xlib-workaround ?

Cheers,

Kristian
