If you have the command xdpyinfo, run that and send the output from this
command to the list. The GRASS XDRIVER assumes that the Default Visual
is PsuedoColor, and I would like to see if that is true for you server.
xdpyinfo is a command I use to dump a lot of info about the X Server
and among this is info about all visuals you serve supports.

|	We're trying to run GRASS on a PC running DESQview. 
|The problems experienced with old xdriver:
|	1. Vector maps (even color) can be displayed without any problem.
|But
|	2. When we try to display a raster map, it gives a bunch of error 
|messages like,
|	X Error (major opcode 72 -- XPutImage).  and the monitor dies!!
|
|	When this problem was posted before there was a suggestion to go
|for the new XDRIVER.

|Problems with new XDRIVER:(for GRASS running on a PC through DESQview)
|
|	1. When we start the monitor (d.mon start) it self it says 
|		"Color: Can't set color 0"
|	2. When we try to display a color vector map it doesn't use the
|assigned color (infact no color can be displayed at all)
|
|	3. When we try to display a raster map the monitor dies saying
|		"Segmentation fault"
|
|Appreciate all your help and suggestions,
