Please start graphics monitor <x1>.
Error - Graphics monitor <x1> not running!
Problem selecting x1. Will try once more
Please start graphics monitor <x1>.

I've used MacX with GRASS 4.0 and GRASS 4.1beta, and
this is a fairly typical startup sequence ... be patient!
The problem seems to be that d.mon is looking for the
monitor to select before the monitor is ready locally.
If you bear with it, eventually, you'll get a monitor
that you can then select (d.mon select=x1), and draw in.

Subject: Re: problems running grass4.0 in macX
I am trying to run grass 4.0 on my macIIvx using macX from sun4 on a
sparcII work station. I get so far as to start grass but I cannot start a
graphic monitor. The error messages that follow indicate a problem with a
font in macX.
However, rebuilding the font directory does not change the situation.
Anyone out there with experience running grass in macX?
GRASS 4.0 > d.mon x1
Graphics driver [x1] started
Graph_SetX: display isis.ento.vt.edu:0.0 doesn't know font 9x15
Please start graphics monitor <x1>.
Error - Graphics monitor <x1> not running!
Hi, I experienced the same problem with MacX and grass4.0 but hadn't time
to fix the problem. Maybe the following will help you:
start MacX with the following command sequence:
/usr/bin/X11/xterm -display isis.ento.vt.edu:0.3 &;
/usr/bin/X11/olwm -display isis.ento.vt.edu:0.3 &
This will start MacX with the Color root window using the olwm - window manager
of the SUN (instead of the Mac Window Manager).
Hope that helps - Zoltan

Patrick Dunlavey:
The Mac port of GRASS 4.0 is ready and we have distributed a couple of
copies by special arrangements. In the next month we will be
producing a CD-ROM for general distribution.
This port requires a good, high end Mac, with a lot of disk space,
naturally, and A/UX version 3 (previous versions were seriously!!
deficient).
The price for this distribution is $995.00. If you feel that
you need it sooner than 6 weeks, call us to see what compatible
tapes, etc., that we might get you a copy on. (Purchasers of
Mac GRASS 4.0 will get a CD of 4.1 for about 25% of this cost,
when it is ready.)

Thanks for your reply regarding MacX. You were right: DISPLAY
needed to be set to host_name:0.2 instead of the 0.0 that I was
accustomed to on our Sun network. I've always wondered what
those window designations were for....
Thanks much.
