edited the grass4.1/etc/monitorcap file as follows: (1 of 7, x0-x6)
/discs/scsi3/grass4.1/dev/fifo.1a \
/discs/scsi3/grass4.1/dev/fifo.1b: \
/dev/console:any terminal
when d.mon is run to start a display screen on the SUN monitor, the following
appears:
[Error: must start x0 from any terminal ]("any terminal" read from monitorcap file.
[You are on /dev/ttya ]
[Please start graphics monitor <x0>. ]
[Error - Graphics monitor <x0> not running!]
[Problem selecting x0. Will try once more ]
[Please start graphics monitor <x0>. ]
[Error - Graphics monitor <x0> not running!]
The specification of /dev/console is saying that d.mon must be run
from /dev/console (even though the user message says "any terminal")
Modify the monitorcap entry and remove /dev/console:
/discs/scsi3/grass4.1/dev/fifo.1a \
/discs/scsi3/grass4.1/dev/fifo.1b::any terminal
