[GRASSLIST:1333] screen

hello,

  I've got a pb to see a map in Grass :

  * I'm on linux, Mandrake 6.0 ;
  * I've installed Grass 4.2.1, with tcl/tk 2.9, and wish 8.0 ;
  * my screen driver is cell ;
  * I've downloaded the global dataset from the grass site, and installed
it into a grassdata directory ;
  * everything seems to go well, except that when I make a command to
display either a vector or a raster map, nothing never comes... It runs, and
runs, and runs....

  Where's my error ?

  Thanks, Ben.

this is the problem: You have to start a GRASS monitor:

d.mon start=x0

(not d.mon start=CELL)

Then a black window should open.

Yes, because it writes all output into the raster map D_cell. This is used
for high resolution prints only (if exporting).
I guess you want to look at the maps: run above
d.mon start=x0

then for example:
d.rast soils

etc.

Hope this helps
