Hi,
  Have you set the environment variable VMDPREFERSTEREO as described
in the VMD Linux release notes? Most GPUs don't have enough video
memory (or video memory bandwidth) to allow both stereo and antialiasing
simultaneously, so you have to tell VMD that you'd rather have stereo
than antialiasing. Give that a try and let us know if you need more
assistance.

Cheers,
  John Stone
