[GRASS-dev] no X monitors

[Paul Van Deusen]

This computer was set up with FC5 when new. Possibly, some packages that 
were added later
messed it up. In any event, everything is working at the moment. I also 
got opengl going
after adding these packages:
mesa-libGLU-devel libdrm-devel libXmu-devel libXext-devel
