Hello,
I have a problem with graphics monitor.
I recently have changed motherboard and video card and installed a new

version of Xfree86 (3.3.2 on linux 2.0.29, Slackware 3.2). Grass4.1 starts
without problems but graphics monitor doesn't work. When I run d.mon
start=x0, it gives me the following message:

X Error of failed request: Badmatch (invalid parameter attributes)
  Major opcode of failed request: 78 (X_CreateColormap)
  Serial number of failed request: 78
  Current serial number in output stream: 79
Please start graphics monitor <x0>
Error - Graphics monitor <x0> not running!
Problem selecting x0. will try once more..
....
I've tried to install grass again but with the same results.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks
Valerio

Dear Valerio,

I've had the same problem some time ago. I solved the problem, selecting
(during RedHat linux installation) the 8 bit video mode. I hope this helps
