I am trying to run grass4.0 on a SUN sparc IPX, and cannot
get the graphics monitor work properly. It keeps giving me
the following message:GRASS 4.0 > d.mon start=x0
Graphics driver [x0] is already running
Error - Could not complete locking process for monitor <x0>.
Lock file is /applications/grass4.0/locks/dolphin/:0.0/x0
Problem selecting x0. Will try once more
ERROR - eof from graphics monitor.I wonder if any of you had this problem before. It would be greatly
appreciated if anyone can give me a hint how to fix it.X. Shao
Yes, I have seen this before. Go to the directory specified in the
error message (/applications/grass4.0/locks/dolphin/:0.0) and remove
the x0 lock file using the unix "rm FILENAME" command. Now you
should be able to use the "d.mon start=x0" command.
I am not sure why this happens. Sometimes I get this error when
GRASS is exited abnormally.

Hmmm, the only time that I get a message like this is when I forget
to run my script to define my environment. Ie.. setenv DISPLAY dolphin:0.0
