I've not followed the threads on the xdriver; please accept my apologies.
But, as I re-organize the modules in functional groups I'm looking closely
at everything available, and I read the xdriver man page; both lines. 
Will someone please tell me the advantages or disadvantages of using
xdriver rather than the "usual" x0? I do run grass from the command line
from within an aterm. Does the xdriver provide higher resolution, better
interactive control, or ...?
Thanks,
Rich

"x0", "x1", etc... are just "instances" of the XDRIVER.
d.mon start=x[0-7] works the same as always.

Eric,
Oh. OK, then.
When might I want to use the CELL driver rather than the XDRIVER? I'm
trying to understand the intricacies both for myself and to explain it to my
clients when I train them on the spatial DSS I'm developing for them.
Thanks very much!

The CELL driver outputs to a GRASS raster (cell) map layer; you could
achieve much the same effect by using PNGdriver followed by r.in.png.
