Hi John:
 
I can run VMD with "vmd -dispdev text" normally, however same error of OpenGL with " vmd alanine.pdb". Does it verify that the new Sun OpenGL is needed?
 
thanks,
 
Justin

Justin,
What is your DISPLAY environment variable set to when running VMD?
If you run VMD with "vmd -dispdev text" does it startup correctly otherwise?
Make sure you have the most recent Sun OpenGL installed on your machine:
