Hi!

I would like to use "GLSL rendering mode" but it seems that the settings
are not alright.
How to set the environment variable VMDGLSLVERBOSE to get more information?

Here is the output when starting VMD:
Info) VMD for LINUX, version 1.8.6 (April 6, 2007)
Info) Multithreading available, 2 CPUs detected.
Info) Free system memory: 1222MB (60%)
Info) OpenGL renderer: GeForce FX 5500/AGP/SSE2
Info) Features: STENCIL MSAA(4) MDE CVA MTX PP PS GLSL(OVF)
Warning) GPU driver failed to compile shader:
Warning) /home/roland/VMD/LIB/shaders/vmd
Warning) This GPU/driver is buggy, or doesn't fully implement GLSL.
Warning) Set environment variable VMDGLSLVERBOSE for more info.
Info) GLSL rendering mode is NOT available.
Info) Textures: 2-D (4096x4096), 3-D (512x512x512), Multitexture (4)

And the some of the output of "glxinfo":
