Hi there I've been trying to open and run a monitor in grass using d.mon

I get the error message as below when I try to do this

x0
Graph_Set: can't open

...

so what do I need to set my DISPLAY to ?
It's a DEC Alpha , called polarbear .
I'm running it remotely from another machine (DECSTATION)
...

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Hello Jeremy,

  You have two things to do :

  . Set your display as the DECSTATION name oe IP number
  (witch is really your display, It would be the X-terminal if you
  work on a X-terminal ...)
  setenv DISPLAY <IPnbr>:0.0 or setenv DISPLAY <name>:0.0

  . On the DECSTATION (a Decterm open'd directly from your session
  manager for example) authorize your alpha to display on the
  DECSTATION (I think on ULTRIX a thing like "xhost + <host>"),
  Just "xhost +" enables any host to display on your screen.
  (on VMS machines you do this over the "option" "security" menu
  from the session manager)

  . To see if it's Ok, you can run for example the "xclock" of
  your Alpha or any other Xtool

    Hope it help you,
