locking mechanism on monitor

Help. I was working in grass and went to display a raster map and my
monitor would not respond giving me the following message:

locking mechanism failed
lock file <where located>.

That lock file was empty. I rebooted my computer and still no response
from x0 monitor. What happened ??? I can bring up another monitor x1
but my x0 will not respond.

Is there a way to fix this problem. Thanks for your help .

Hi, Teresa
Try removing the locking file. Also, do a "ps -ef | grep x0" to make sure
that nothing is still trying to run that monitor. That _should_ take
care of the problem, at least for now!
