We have a Calcomp Drawing Board III hooked up to a Sun Sparc 5 which is
running Solaris 2.5 and Grass 4.15. Can anyone suggest what calcomp
digitizer driver we should use?
Also we are unable to start a Grass monitor from an Xserver which is
running CDE as the window manager. If I issue the following command
once grass has started: d.mon start=gisx1 I get the following error:
X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
Major opcode of failed request: 78 (X_CreateColormap)
Serial number of failed request: 267
Current serial number in output stream: 268
Our monitorcap file has entries like this:
gisx1:driver/XDRIVER:X-term display (gisx1): \
/opt/grasstest/dev/fifo.1a /opt/grasstest/dev/fifo.1b \
::any terminal
and these work fine for Xterminals but not Xservers.
Any comments would be appreciated.

The color map problem you describe is a common one. You must use XDRIVER24
to operate grass on a 24bpp display. The 24bpp display will not do a
colormap, no matter how hard you try, so it returns the error cannot
create colormap.
The display works on the Xterminals because they are mapped color
displays.
Good luck!
