Hy everyone!


First: THANXS to Markus, Angus and Michel for your help. I changed to 24bit
driver, and got some improvement. Yet the trouble isn't yet wholly solved...

So, here I'm again with my monitor problems. (definitly they make some
problems..)

Here is what I get from the error message when starting monitor with d.mon:

>can not allocate any read/write color cells
>Please start graphics monitor <x0>.
>Error - Graphics monitor <x0> not running!
>Problem selecting x0. Will try once more

Now I'm working on a PC just normal and current what one finds on the
'public' market (nothing fancy and special). I have Redhat 5.0 and us the
GUI that comes along (XFREE or LESSTIF).
As much as I got, I use a 640x480 color monitor with a 800x600 virtual
resolution. Yet I don't know where to find the info about color resolution.

Here in case it is something of importance, what I get from among the
welcome message when starting tcltkgrass:

>window name "mb0" already exists in parent


Oh! And I put XDRIVER_24bit...


I hope someone knows where the bug lies.

thanx
karine

PS: I'm also still a greenhorn in Grass and Linuy! Thomas, you aren't alone!
