Joe,
  If you're using an NVidia card, be sure that you've set the
VMDPREFERSTEREO environment variable so that VMD will force the
NVidia drivers to give a stereo capable OpenGL visual.
If you're using csh/tcsh, you'd do this:
  setenv VMDPREFERSTEREO 1

For bourne shell or bash, you'd use
  VMDPREFERSTEREO=1
  export VMDPREFERSTEREO
