cesar,

you need to configure your X server to support OpenGL.
i assume you are trying to run vmd locally and not via ssh
from another machine, right?

how well OpenGL works usually depends on the hardware you
have. this is a frequent question, so please search the mailing
list archive (or google: Unable to create OpenGL window site:ks.uiuc.edu )
for further details and resolutions of previous problems.

regards,
