I succesfully have Grass up and running on our DEC mips machines using
XWindows and with the display going to screens with 8-bit color boards.

When I switch to a 24-bit color board, I get an error when I try to execute

> d.mon start=x0
  Request Major code 78 ()
  Error Serial #266
  Current Serial #267

Does anyone have Grass running successfully on a 24-bit color display with
XWindows? And are you getting full use out of the 24-bits?

speaking for myself.

We have one Sun Sparc 2 with a 24 bit graphics display system that is
working fine in grass 4.0 and 4.1. No we are not getting the full
24 bit display for grass. We are running the same driver as the Sparc 2
next to it with an 8 bit display system.

There was a discussion on 24 bit displays in X for grass about 4-6 months
ago on the list. Check the archives.

Good Luck and keep us informed if you have positive results,
