24 Bit X-terminal error

[Michael Shapiro]

GRASS needs a PseudoColor Visual with at least 256 colors and it must
be the default visual (the XDRIVER doesn't currently search the visual
list and select the one it needs). You will have to teach your system
how to start the X server and have it select the correct visuals as the
default visual.

|We recently tried to run GRASS on a ShoGraphics X-terminal, model PS1.  This
|is a 24 bit color device.  We received the following error message when
|the d.mon command was executed:  
|
|>    Graphics driver [x0] started
|>    Please start graphics monitor <x0>.
|>    X Error of failed request:  BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
|>      Major opcode of failed request:  78 (X_CreateColormap)
|>      Minor opcode of failed request:  0
|>      Resource id in failed request:  0x27
|>      Serial number of failed request:  225
|>      Current serial number in output stream:  226
|>    Error - Graphics monitor <x0> not running!
|>    Problem selecting x0. Will try once more
|>    Please start graphics monitor <x0>.
|>    Error - Graphics monitor <x0> not running!
