I have installed grass4.1beta on a sparc 2 and it seems fine. I have no
problems starting a monitor from either the sparc or from an
Xterminal. However, when i rlogin from a decterm (5000/25 ultrix 4.2a,
with Motif) and try to start x0, say, the windo flashes up, i get the
message about it being started and then an error message about not
being able to select it. The rlogin is from the dec to the sparc.
Anyone got any suggestions?
(The locks/sparc/dec directory appears to be created ok)
This is common. It is a timing problem. d.mon tries to select
the monitor twice (if it fails the first time). Try running d.erase
to see if the select actaully worked. Or use thius sequence
d.mon -s start=x0 # start, but don't select
d.mon select=x0
