Thanks for the reply...i had originally installed the binaries....never
built it from source...but it seems that I'm getting the same problem
rebuild as before. This inquiry is probably better directed towards ATI
or the makers of VMD, but it detects fireglx module, recognizes my card
even, but the console window just dies without the VMD block letter
display ever coming up. Other applications seem to run with rendering
just fine...I'm rather new at this linux stuff...i was wondering wat is
the best way to capture the console window output easily prior to its
premature exit?
best,

thanks much for the VMD ebuild... I was curious, as I could not get this
to work when I had VMD installed manually, is there a way to run VMD
using a different OpenGL library, ie specifically the FireGL binaries
provided by ATI, rather than resorting to the software MesaGLX?
Yep, there's a way to build it so that it uses libGL rather than trying
to use libMesaGL or something silly like that -- in fact, there are
binaries on their site that do exactly that already, and our ebuild also
does it.
The only thing you need to do on Gentoo to use a different libGL is
switch your OpenGL implementation using opengl-update.
HTH,
