Luc:
I had this problem before with ERDAS software on a SUN Sparc2. The problem
is probably your video card. The d.display is too color intensive. Turn off
everything you can in your monitor display (backgrounds, clocks, etc.).
1) I strarted a monitor and used d.display, which seems to work fine,
but when I put my cursor on the monitor, the rest of the screen turns
red and orange. It DOES wake you up, but I prefer coffee. How do I
change this? Color related man pages did not give me a clue.
For this problem, run d.erase after resizing monitors before running
d.rast (or d.vect).
2) Furthermore, I started 3 monitors and first I reduced their size. The
monitors turned from black to white. I tried to display elevation.dem
with d.rast map=elevation.dem on the white monitors and nothing happens.
If I don't reduce a monitr first, and immediately display elevation.dem,
a white field appears on the black background, where elevation.dem is
supposed to show up. Strange thing is that I used to be able to display
elevation.dem. What did I do so that I can not display it anymore or
what are sources of my problem, and how do I solve the problem?
I think you are running in colormode float. Change to colormode fixed.
I appreciate your help for getting me on the GRASS roads, after these
first hours of muddling around.
Luc.

PS: I HAD TWO SEND THIS MESSAGE TWICE. IN THE MEANTIME I FOUND OUT THAT MY
SECOND PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE SOLVED IF I RUN FROM THE C SHELL, NOT FROM BASH.
IS THIS CORRECT AND HOW DO I RUN FROM BASH?
To run from bash, change the entry in the password file to bash instead of
csh.
I offer GRASS support services, and will send additional information by a
seperate e-mail.
