Hello,

I have tried this version on our Prism system and got the following results:
- running ./vmd -dispdev win or ./vmd -dispdev cave creates two
windows (vmd console and vmd OpenGL display) but both disappear after 1 sec

- starting with ./vmd -dispdev text starts vmd in the console mode
[root_at_prism2 bin]# ./vmd -dispdev text

Any idea why the OpenGL window disappears?
