Glynn,

the solaris compile is done. At least working remote on solaris
fails:

d.mon x0
ncolors: 65536

(sometimes I get:
Can't bind to socket for monitor <x0>. Already in use?
Socket is already in use or not accepting connections.
Use d.mon to select a monitor
Problem selecting x0. Will try once more
Socket is already in use or not accepting connections.
Use d.mon to select a monitor
)

Then the window opens, but I still see my Linux KDE background.
Wiping with another window or iconizing/resizing makes it black.

d.rast nations

Monitor remains as it is, wiping with another window or iconizing/resizing
makes the map visible. It seems to be a backing store problem.
Note: I didn't change anything on Linux, it must have to do with working
on the SUN remotely.

Sorry for no better news, please tell me how to help debugging...

Regards

 Markus
