Are you screendumping an uncompressed image? r.in.sunrast is not happy with
a compressed image.  If your asking how to edit with your mouse, one of my
comrades told me there should be a line,such as the one below in your digcap 
file.


none:nodig:nofile:  Run digit without the digitizer.

Hope this helps...
