I am trying to run grass 4.0 on my macIIvx using macX from sun4 on a
sparcII work station. I get so far as to start grass but I cannot start a
graphic monitor. The error messages that follow indicate a problem with a
font in macX.
However, rebuilding the font directory does not change the situation.
Anyone out there with experience running grass in macX?
GRASS 4.0 > d.mon x1
Graphics driver [x1] started

I've used MacX with GRASS 4.0 and GRASS 4.1beta, and
this is a fairly typical startup sequence ... be patient!
The problem seems to be that d.mon is looking for the
monitor to select before the monitor is ready locally.
If you bear with it, eventually, you'll get a monitor
that you can then select (d.mon select=x1), and draw in.
