I'm interested in the answers to these questions too.

I have the linux 4.1.5 binaries that are on moon.cecer.army.mil
installed, and with the help of this list installed a compatible libcurses.
The current problem is that "d.mon start=x0" results in the error:


X Error of failed request:  BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
  Major opcode of failed request:  78 (X_CreateColormap)
  Serial number of failed request:  78
  Current serial number in output stream:  79
Please start graphics monitor <x0>.
Error - Graphics monitor <x0> not running!
Problem selecting x0. Will try once more
Please start graphics monitor <x0>.
Error - Graphics monitor <x0> not running!

Any clues would be appreciated.

Thanks,
