Dear John,
I tried to run vmd with "vmd -dispdev text" command in terminal but again nothing happened and I couldn't open vmd main window. vmd was installed but I couldn't find how to open it. Should I install a different version of vmd for a different platform like  "Linux PowerPC (64-bit) Text-mode" ? or Should I write a different command to run vmd in terminal ? What do you recommend ? How can I solve this problem ?
Thanks for the help.
Best regards.
We recommend that all users upgrade to VMD 1.9.1

	* LINUX OpenGL, CUDA (Linux (32-bit, RHEL4 or later) with CUDA)
	* LINUX_64 OpenGL, CUDA (Linux (64-bit Intel/AMD x86) with CUDA)   (my choice)
	* LINUX PPC64 Text-mode (Linux PowerPC (64-bit) Text-mode)
	* MacOS X OpenGL, CUDA (32-bit Intel x86) (Apple MacOS-X 10.5.x or later with CUDA)
	* MacOS X OpenGL (32-bit Intel x86) (Apple MacOS-X 10.5.x or later)
	* MacOS X OpenGL (PowerPC) (Apple MacOS-X 10.4.7 or later)

What happens if you run it like this:
  vmd -dispdev text
