The file is called "digcap", and the original entry above is correct. The 
problem appears to be that the driver "none" was not compiled with your GRASS.
This is usually done initially by editing $SRC/CMD/lists/local or 
$SRC/CMD/lists/$arch, using $SRC/CMD/lists/local.sample as an example, before
running GISGEN. However, you can manually compile the driver by going to 
$SRC/mapdev/digitizers/none and running gmake4.1 in that directory.
